The Vive only uses 2 light houses. It doesn't need more than 2 to do room scale VR. The Oculus needs 4 cameras to do room scale. You don't need to connect the light houses to your computer, were as the Oculus cameras do need to be connected to your pc which can suck if you don't have enough usb ports. One thing that really sets them apart for me is the front camera on the Vive that lets you see your surroundings without taking off the HMD. I do agree that the Touch controllers are better in function, but not tracking compared to the Vive's wands. They both have their positives, and negatives.
The much lower price is the main reason I would buy a CV1 over a Vive at the moment along with the free software. The Vive can play most Oculus games with ReVive, but you still have to buy them. I just wouldn't buy a Vive at the moment for $799 when you can pick up a CV1 for $399. Plus if you want the comfort of the CV1's built in headphones and nicer strap, then you need to spend another $99 to buy the DAS. If someone has a Vive then it's a must have. Either way they are both good VR HMD's.
EDIT: Welcome to the Club! You do want to join right? Also, you can't say Oculus Home is big when comparing to SteamVR. but I think you were say Home with Steam?
