My first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer. My second computer was a Commodore 64.

Other than the CPU, the Commodore 64 was better in every way. Graphics, lowercase, SID for sound, real interrupts for data, keyboard... so many other reasons.

The Commodore 64 was better than the TRS-80 Color Computer. Much better.

You are correct; my memory was faulty.

I was remembering the VIC-20 which was the contemporary of the TRS-80.

Yes, the C64 was quite a bit better. But it came out roughly 2-3 years later, and was triple the price of a CoCo2 until the first round of price cuts (at which point it was still double).
