it is just the same for ATS34 or pretty close at the least.

...and, when we get happy enough with the RWL-34 we will be doing a cross test of our favorite RWL-34 procedure using ATS-34 instead.

Besides the manufacturing process, the only analytical difference I have seen so far is RWL-34 has a slight amount of vanadium. That along with the manufacturing process could be more significant than not.
