To me, they are equivalent just different. My LSD is the same price though... I gotta wonder if people are starting to equate higher price to better quaility.
Not here, no. I got my ALD for almost half of what I could get LSD for locally. And then 1/3 less than what I can get from a friend across the country who knows a guy that lays it. So for me, there's definitely no price driving quality perception going on.
I don't know how much you guys pay for LSD and ALD - no price discussion allowed - but I got my ALD for pretty damn cheap by all standards I've ever known in the US.
