chinense Bhut Jolokia vs jays peach ghost scorpion

I know there is a slight difference in the Scoville scale (bhut Jolokia is hotter). Is this really the case though? Ted Barrus swore that jays peach might have been the hottest in the world? Opinions or experience?
 
I know that Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion crossed with the red Carolina Reaper makes the hottest peach pod I've ever eaten.
 
I've eaten both. The JPGS is noticeably hotter than the typical red Bhut Jolokia. And its heat creeps like no other pod I've had (which is admittedly not such a huge variety, but...) I think both varieties are rad and 100% with growing, but they aren't so similar where growing both would be redundant. At least, not in my opinion.
