Absolutely.  I thought I made it clear that they are two different
specs, but I guess it wasn't clear enough.  I thought I had (I was
answering two different questions and each was set off by a different

From a literary standpoint, I didn't leave enough transition between
the two topics and they sounded (to some) like I meant they were the
same spec.
