yes, they do the exact same thing in the way that they achieve the  
same, but
in different ways.  However, what you ask for is difficult to program  
and
also (IMO) confusing.  I am dropping it for now.  If you want to switch
between the two interfaces, just define a command that toggles the
corresponding variable.  Then you can switch just before finishing  
remember
with C-c C-c.
