One way to find out for sure is to buy both frames and cut them open to inspect the lugmanship, if such a word can be used, OR buy both frames and try to trash them by riding like Gilberto Simoni in the Giro.
In the end however, anything that is glued together is going to have a weak spot eventually somewhere with the passage of time. It all comes down to the manufacturer with the best warranty to cover this type of problem when it arises.
The way i see it theres probably some eccentric biker scientist somewhere working on a fusion technique to make carbon tubes adhere to aluminum lugs without any glue involved.....not!!!!!!!!

Its time to ride.
