There's also the bit with him hiding in the trash to tail Han and pretending he didn't hear Luke in the hallway at Bespin..showing that he's pretty sneaky and calculating. And his dialogue with Vader shows he clearly only cares about money.
It's pretty much all laid out there, what he's about.

It shows those aspects of him, sure, but that's like three bullet points on a D&D sheet, rather than a 'clearly-defined character.' And if those points are all there is to him, then he's a pretty flat character.

I'm not saying he has to be deep by any means, because he serves his role in the story well. I just think that using him as a barometer to measure other Mandalorian characters by is pretty weak, because a lot of his strength is from his design/presence and the impact of his actions, not his character and personality. Which is relating to the original point here:

I hope later on in Rebels, Boba Fett will hunt down Sabine. That's a job he would even do for free for tarnishing his legacy (real life chronology-wise, that is, since the whole Mandalor thing started with his character)
