I agree that they are very different, but I like both of them very much. I once shared an apartment with a man who thought Bach was music, anything else was not, and had hundreds of albums of Bach (this was in the 60s) lining shelves in the apartment. I listened to a lot of Bach in that year and gained a real appreciation for him. Vivaldi was a later discovery.
