No they aren't, AFv2 and Allagan are identical (with a different stat), for example here are all that i mentioned for Bard.

Reread my post

Amdapor doesn't drop Allagan, its a level 50 4 man instance and drops its own sets, such as the Demagogue set for Mages.
I have most of the Demagogue set on my black mage and each piece is better than the respective AF set.

You said my post wasn't exactly right. I didn't mention Amdapor, I wasn't giving a tiered list of all possible gear I was listing the blue sets and their order of magnitude. There is a lot of crafted gear that is better than AF as well and things in-between. I have a Dema Mask from back in 1.0 so yes, there is that as well. Along with the Vanya for mages and Gryphonskin for DD and Darksteel for tanks. + melds all of those are better than AF.

It will be interesting to see some comparison tests in the months ahead between the Allegan and AF2 sets. While on the face of it quite similar there are differences which may prove significant.
On Monk for example the Allegan set focuses on crit rate while the AF2 has a clear advantage in acc and skill speed. Looks like AF2 is likely to be superior.

In the slots where there is an overall difference over the other set;

Crit Hit rate Allegan +69

Determination AF2 +8

Accuracy AF2 +59

Skill speed AF2 +24

STR,VIT and DEF are equal on the two sets.
