We really can't make those assumptions. The purified form may be more readily absorbed. Things like that.
But you stick with what works for you. That is the bottom line.
Here is some reading:

From what I gather there, it is more than 1:1 actions.
Removing the inactive form, increases activity of the remaining form.
I never had any results from the old ALA... but I do like the r-lipoic. That is just my opinion.
