Default Intercooler question: Apex'i vs. XS Engineering

I know these two companies are closely tied, so my question is, do they both use the same intercooler core designs or even the same intercooler cores in their respective kits? The fin design looks similar - but not quite identical. Here are some pics for comparison.

Apex'i:





XS Engineering:

FFgeoff:
One thing many people think when they see the Apex'i core is that its really cool... well thats because it looks really cool. It is actually fairly inefficient, but looks AWESOME. The Apex'i GT-R core flows poorly for its size. The Spearcos are the best bar and plate cores out there.
The XS is pretty good IMO

I have the XS based off the Apex'i Silvia Core and haven't had any issues yet. I got to drive in 115 degree heat today for an hour plus.
