I wouldn't say its the same information. The Location information does not appear to reflect what you see as you read. If I flip through a book and try to guess how many locations will pass as you move through the text I can't do it intuitively. But a page number on a physical book maps exactly to what you see. Move one page and you expect the number to go up by one.
I've no problem using a byte count to identify the exact location to use for reference - and its great that Kindle includes it. But I'd like showing it to be configurable so that I'm not distracted by it.
