So I am new to OPNSense and I am curious what is the difference between it and PFSense? I see that OPNSense is based on PFSense and beyond a nicer interface I don't see much difference. I might be wrong but if someone can please explain, I would appreciate that.

I read those parts but I was figuring there would be a comparison chart between the two.

There's no comparison chart between the two that I'm aware of. Both offer very similar functionality since OPNsense was forked from pfsense. There's been a lot of changes since the fork so at this point it's going to be based on your preference. I would recommend you try OPNsense for yourself and see how you like it. Both distributions are excellent choices.
