Different makes may be different speeds. The only way for you to be sure is
to try both cards in the same machine for comparison.

Are there any reviews of these or similar "fast" cards with test results
demonstrating their "enhanced" status?

Specifically about speed?

Does anyone know if PPC's use the full 4-bit SD interface? If they only use
1-bit that would really slow them down. I'm just curious...

I do know that different brands of cards can vary widely in performance.
Specifically, Sandisk often uses a "bit-doubling" technique that is really
slow on write times, but OK on read times. Lexar/Panasonic are generally
pretty fast.
