They're like night and day, in my opinion. Does that help? Probably
not. So rather than attempt to give you some sort of digest of *my*
understanding of one vs. the other, which would be inherently biased,
I'd recommend that you do your own research and decide for yourself.
There's a lot of information and opinion on both regimens (and other
similar approaches) on the web. Of course, there are the books. There
may be newsgroups devoted to each. I'd say go forth and learn, then do
what seems right for you, if indeed you think you need to do anything at
all. That's what I did. Good luck.
