I respect your opinion and I do think Civil war is better than Age of Ultron, but I just have this say:
-consistent tone, no...
the whole movie up to the airport fight is a political, crime drama atmosphere, then the aiport fight happens and it becomes a lightharded action "shlock", then the fight ends and then we are back at the first tone, only more darker.
Age of ultron had a consistent mix of lighthardeness and darker atmosphere throw out the entire movie, with both tones blalancing out each other really well.
- better music?
TBH, both scores are just as generic as much as the rest of the MCU (not nessesearlly a bad thing), both serve they're porpouse and both are made to be distint (AoU, epicness and smallness; Civil war, action drums and tragedy).
- VFX.
subjective. I, honesty, can tell the diference (aside for the fact that one was made a year before) on the VFX, both looked great.
- character arcs.
subjective again. the characters that actually get an arc on Civil war are Cap, tony, nat, zemo and t'challa.
while age of ultron had an arc for tony, bruce, thor, cap, nat, clint, wanda, pietro, fury, ultron and vision&jarvis.
obviously, civil war's arcs are more noticable, considering that the film has just 6 REAL protagonnist, while AoU has 10, but again, I'm been fair with both movies.
- villian.
subjective again. maybe zemo's plan was the only one that work (all though you can argue that it didn't), but he isn't close to be in any way as intresting as Ultron, I tell you that (at least for me)
-better directing.
the way the films are directed depend on what is happening on screen, on what the film is about and it's themes. that been said, since both films are quite different from each other, both are well directed, in my opinion.
