"a far cry from"

"a far cry from"

How do you say that in Spanish? There must be an idiomatic phrase. I'm thinking in the sense of "Well it's a far cry from burning up my credit card but I have gone a bit over the top'..."

¿Algo como "es bastante lejos de..."? pues no lo sé.

Good morning.

I found this "es muy distinto de.... " and this "dista mucho de..."

I like the first one better :p
