Looking at the architecture at http://meego.com/developers/meego-architecture you can't find actually many components that are not present in Maemo or MeeGo-Harmattan (provisional name). In fact that stack is also far away from Moblin. Of course we can discuss better on these details once MeeGo-Harmattan is out.

Comparing the current MeeGo-Handset vanilla with Maemo 5 final productized by Nokia is unfair. If you remember the first Fremantle releases they were also judged as unimpressive by many or most people around here.

Heavy work is going on to bring MeeGo and MeeGo-Harmattan releases out.
