I'm inclined to say yes, there is a difference. Things can be learned by collaborating with another team, particularly a team not near you as with Division by Chickens or the various 254 collaborations (which I never quite realized were spaced that far apart--when you're three thousand miles away, everything is close), or when you have to get three teams all to agree to a general direction or apply a tweak one's discovered to all three. I'd love to see what can be learned by these sorts of deals.
