Pretty easy to spot the differences if you look. Pickups, build, tone. The Jaguar is flashier, and has more options, but the Jazzmaster is Fender's masterpiece in my opinion. General sound is somewhere between a strat and a tele (not as punchy as the latter), but it's more versatile than either.
I don't know. I don't have a Jag and haven't played one in a while, but I'm pretty sure I'll be a Jazzmaster guy for life. Jag's are more complicated and tend to fall out of tune more easily because they have so much going on. Really hard to find "your tone", but once you do, it's sweet.
Just play both and pick. Or listen to a bunch of Kevin Shields and J Mascis.
