You can click to look inside each book and also read the reviews on Amazon.com.
You may struggle to find someone who has read both of these books.
I only have the former and not the latter, so I cannot compare for you.

I have read Sedra's book but do not remember seeing razavi's book in the library. I wish to buy one of them and thus would like to see what others have to say about it.

I have read Sedra, it was good.

I have read two other books by Razavi and they were both pretty good.

Almost all books in this field cover almost the same stuff. Sedra is the standard textbook .
