Are Clergy and Clark the same tartan?

Nighthawk, do you see a big difference in the patterns? I have a Clergy from Sport Kilt, and it is pretty similar to a tank from Scotland which I have in the same tartan. I didn't think that SK did different shades like Ancient.

The one I have from the Frugal Corner, on the other hand, is very bright in fluorescent light.

"The official Clergy Ancient tartan!" From SK's website. Yes, it's different. The one I have from USAK is the same as the one from Frugal corner... only not nearly as neon.

If you helps you out any, here are a few pictures of my USAK. It's a semi trad.

The pics help a lot. Thank you Ozman and Nighthawk. I think my first choice from USAK is going to be a Semi-trad in Clark.

I'm wearing mine right now, at work, as a matter of fact. This conversation, and the fact that it's supposed to be windy today, made me want to wear it. It's the nicest article of clothing I have, so I don't wear it often.
