the vocabulary of each is about the same difficulty for me.  klingon grammar is much easier though.  lojban has umpty gazillion cmavo in 80 or so selma'o.  klingon affixes are about 60 suffixes and a half-dozen conjunctions, plus about 40 verb prefixes (designating the person of subject and object together).  hard to learn, but not hard to understand.  lojban grammar, with its attempt to cover logic, is a lot harder for me.  but the incompleteness of vocab in both is a problem too, although much more serious in klingon.
