Neil's advice to prefer homogeneity to small savings seems very sensible to me in general, especially in light of this discussion.  

But sometimes the savings is more than a few bucks (as in this case -- the Linotype price is less than a third of the price of the corresponding families from Adobe, and Monotype doesn't even list all the volumes anymore on fonts.com). 

For the record, Linotype did confirm by email that the data was exactly the same as the Monotype versions, althoguh they did say that this was not a general rule. (And I can now tell you that even the icons on the downloaded files are Monotype's.) 

Thanks again for all the useful advice.
