There are far worse things to be than just a bit worse than a future Hall of Famer. The Bills are set with him. And he was the 7th pick.
My sense is Levis is going to be a good one - that this is the year of the quarterback we'll be talking about for the 2010s.

Do you mean statistically? They are obviously much, much different in height/weight (Wilson: 5'11/215 lbs vs Allen: 6'5/240 lbs), which I would think would impact durability/aging - for better or worse.
Wilson has been remarkably durable for his size, but he runs a lot less often than he did early in his career and takes a lot of sacks. I can see how their first 4-5 years look pretty similar, but I think Allen's physical advantages will likely see him developing and aging differently.
