It's not the same, no. PAL has unbounded r^1.05 curve. From a late voter point of view it's a little odd because the curator curve didn't change, but from what I was gathering it doesn't really matter much since voting late gets you very little (unless the distribution of post values shifts to be very top heavy). I have a post about it here. Let me know there if you have any questions.

Other than that, 50/50 is the same and downvotes are similar (I don't think it's the same but I'm not certain). But either way, it won't matter until PAL is separated from Steem. Oh! Now that delegation is out I should delegate my PAL to another account and get that going.
