Big difference.  The other organization has no testing for anything that I
know of.  No upgrading of membership status.  No possible tests to take to
acquire the status of "Master" Ours does and for me, and probably you too,
one taken, it is more meaningful.

As is precisely the case with the PTG, only the dues are higher.

The name alone would kill any interest for me. I don't recall any time 
in my life that I was ignorant enough to consider myself a master of 
anything at all.
