Significantly more complex V-ATPase

From PLOS One.  Discussed in more detail here. 

Two very distinct mechanisms, which most likely evolved independently, are employed for ATP-driven H⁺ pumps: the rotary mechanism of the V-ATPase and the alternating access mechanism used by the P-ATPases (Fig 1). The significantly more complex V-ATPase consists of 25–39 protein chains compared to a monomeric or homodimeric polypeptide for the P-ATPase. The operating mechanism for the V-ATPase is also more elaborate consisting of an electric motor-like rotary mechanism. In contrast, the P-ATPase operates by switching between two (E1 and E2) conformations similar to most allosteric mechanisms.

How do we measure "significantly more complex" in terms of bits?
