There are major differences between the two, so it's only logical they sound/feel different. For instance:

FM8 has more operator waveforms
FM8 has feedback for each operator (the FS1r only has one feedback)
FM8 has a completely free FM algorithm, in the FS1r you have to pick one first, which limits your options to change your course halfway the sound design process
FM8 has more voices, 64 vs 32
FM8 has more simultaneous effects

Now, the FS1r has a few tricks which FM8 has not, of course, though I'm not convinced how relevant they are. I never cared for fseqs, and all those synvoxes can be done perfectly well with FM8.
