Eneloop vs Duracell smart charge batteries

Anyone have any opinions on this. A quick Google would appear to imply they are both one and the same thing apart from Duracell arriving on the scene a year later and repackaging Sanyo's product with 100% margin and flogging it as their own?..brand power and all that.

Check GP ReCyko+ rechargeable batteries.

Dealextreme are half the price of most Irish retailers.
Compare these to these
