The difference not being the technique, but rather how the technique is applied. If you wish to have the ladder stand alone or wide bands blend together one needs only alter the technique to produce either.
To list the variables would be time consuming indeed, but they all come from the same base technique.
I understand your point Alex...one of precision using the technique.
