So does a bus and "my Ferrari"... transport passengers ;P. Or maybe a more relevant example, demo vs. wild demo (but in this case you could just say TBL and it becomes irrelevant :P :P ).
They don't provide the same functionality:
P61 = play + compress
LSP = play
For some people, not specifically you, it's just semantics, maybe they don't really care much about the compression, it's a bonus. As long as it's reasonable simple to use and fast (read: doesn't get nuked to 15-16 rasterlines range if you happen to use fine-tuning).
I wouldn't touch P61 if it wasn't for the compression (if your audio budget is say 192kb, getting ~30kb more for the samples is really nice), especially after seeing the source code. Have to feel sorry for all the poor guys who volunteered to maintain it :P.
So yeah, from my perspective they are not in the same category.
