Depends on the context: If we're talking about individual loss, id go with unicorns have it harder. Pegasi may not be able to fly, but that doesn't mean their wings don't have purpose. We've seen in the show pegasi holding items in their wings that earth ponies would use their mouths for, making them still plausible for day to day activities, or at the very least they cane be used as shelves. However, unicorns use magic to perform a lot of what they can do, without it they're just earth ponies with an extra bone on their head. However, if we're talking about groups or equestria as a whole, then pegasi have it rougher. Not only are the the weather brigade of the land but also a significant amount of them live in the sky on clouds. This would cause severe consequences to all of equestria, not just the pegasi. Meanwhile some of what unicorns can do can be acomplished through alternative methods: Got a heavy object: get some other ponies, need a magic remedy: brew it instead of casting, etc.

Gotta say i really enjoyed the episodes. For the first time, in at least a while, the message seemed more directed at adults, both bronies and non-fan parents watching with their kids. Shows that the development team are acknowledging the older viewers with more than just a reference here or there, but actually putting life changing lessons directed at the maturer audience! Also, all the new character are amazing, no dislike at all (so far). That, and this episode has finally put a year long discussion/debate I've had with myself in concrete: Starlight is best pone!
