Yes, they are, although during the process of creating the Spatterlight Press editions, several additional corrections were made to the VIE texts. Also, the maps in the Spatterlight Press editions were specifically created for the ebooks, based on the originals from the VIE and the cover art is better imho.

BTW: it's not SFGateway that's stopping you from getting another version though: the Vance estate gave Orion exclusive epublishing rights for the UK and territories and Australia for the next several years. This means that the Spatterlight Press editions won't be available in those countries for that time, but if you're determined there are always ways around that.
