TFS has a lot of bling and whistles, so a simple straight comparison
will make it shine.

The big question is why are you moving from TFS in the first place. Is
it because you're simply more familiar with Subversion? Or, have you
had problems with TFS -- maybe difficult to use or slow? Have you lost
data with TFS or find that it doesn't integrate well with other
systems you have? Or, is it simply a matter of cost? You can no longer
justify the spending of $X for each and every developer because it
takes up so much of your budget.

That is much more important than some sort of feature check-off chart.
