I do think this is true (we've done 4 years of Singapore). But Singapore does do the "good" stuff EM does, like plenty of open ended problems that require multiple steps and thinking outside the box. Not necessarily 100's of cookie cutter problems. It is short on the drilling as well. We do additional multiplication/division practice.
