Great question Dangles, have been wondering the same thing since they both operate on 406MHz, that is the important part. If going with the PLB go with the floating models. The realistic advantage of the real Epirb is mounting it in the hydrostatic release. though I will say small boats don't always sink and this won't release until it gets to a certain depth so it will stay with the boat and so should you. Of course if your plb is packed away in a bag that you can't get to then also useless. Things ofen happen unexpected and fast. So important to have the plb in a handy location if going that route. 'but as fare as locating function I believe it would be the same, must register also.
