No question they differ:

As noted from the 1999 OGS Open File Report, #169: "Rare-Metal
Mineralization Associated with the Berens River-Sachigo
Subprovincial Boundary, Northwestern Ontario: Discovery of a
New Zone of Complex-Type, Petalite Subtype Pegmatite and
Implications for Future Exploration"
by F.W. Breaks, A.G Tindle, and S.R. Smith.

Mineral Chemistry
- "Potassium-feldspar chemistry has been well established as
a useful tool in the economic valuation of pegmatites. In
particular, the Rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Ce) contents and the
K/Rb ratio in blocky potassium-feldspar are important in
discriminating between rare-metal-enriched pegmatites and those
that are barren of such metals."
- 'Concentrations of rubidium (mean 1.11%) and cesium (mean 0.83%)
are highly anomalous and indicative of a complex type pegmatite
system. This assessment is supported by the K/Rb vs. Ce content, a
plot useful in assessing economic potential, where most analyses
(samples) from the Pakeagama Lake area plot witin the Bernic Lake
pegmatite group ... which includes the Tanco Pegmatite'.

From Table 24.5 Pegmatite Comparisons of Ce, Rb and K/Rb:

# Ce (ppm) Rb (ppm) K/Rb

Pakeagama Lake (HLM) 19 827 11100 9.5
Bernic Lake (TANCO) 57 1262 14800 9.5
Big Whopper (AVL) 5 249 12592 8.5
