Steel dive might have better lume. The movements will be very comparable. Steel dive will technically have better end links and clasp, but technically is the key word.
With more affordable Chinese watches, quality control is very meh in my experience. I think I’ve owned 7 or 8 different Aliexpress watches at this point. When they’re good, they can be really good. But, if you really know your way around a watch, they can be a bit disappointing.
That said, I’ve never owned an Orient. But I’ve had quite a few modern sub homages and they all have the same crappy brushed finishing. You probably won’t notice it if it’s your first watch or you haven’t been around luxury watch watches. Or at least you won’t at first. But, once you do, it’ll constantly bother you. My advice is to either go with orient or with a higher cost aliexpress brand, if you really want the sub homage.
