How do monitors and tegus compare against each other? Are there any similarities other than a similar body style?

I've always had a slight interest in tegus but have never looked into them. I'm just curious to know whether or not they're anything like varanids in actions, temperament, habitat, etc...

I'm not looking for tegu specifics, straight & to the point is fine. However, if you could go a tad bit further than, "No comparison" or "Big difference" I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
