My experience is that it tends to depend on the tannery. Good chrome is great for brighter colors and pull up, and tends to be a bit more water resistant, but doesn't age or burnish like veg tan. At least from the ones I've gotten, it tends to be softer. Especially the pull up makes it look cool in bags and jackets. If I want something that will burnish or show age more traditionally, I'll go after veg.
Chrome tanned leather has never impressed me. Veg tanned leather However, holds up to the task the item was designed for. Each to their own, though !
