Actually I believe that this was discussed here previously (not to say it
should not be again).
Carol Warner at that time presented her opinion on this topic. If I remember
correctly (without going back in the archives to check) she believes there
is a definite difference, especially in vigor. I would consider her opinion
on this as quite valuable as she obtained each of the varieties in question
directly from the respective hybridizers.
This debate has been around for a while and will likely stay with us into
the future...
