Isn't the AY a simple tone generator with one wave pattern? And an extra white noise channel? The SID has all manner of components, including multiple wave patterns and filters and so on to produce much more complex waveforms.
I've never heard anything technically impressive come out of AY, except for samples (even if they are very hissy) compared to SID.
