That's exactly what my observations have shown.
See here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26108.

However, there are a few caveats... Firstly, iLiad refreshes the screen in a different way (different waveform) so it can't be directly compared to vizplex. They both finish at approx. the same time, however, iLiad's Eye-Print waveforms do an additional slight "blink" at the end that makes its refresh cycle last a bit longer. That "blink" is usually not perceived in real use.

Secondly, while iLiad's whites are brighter in the best case scenario (light falling dead on the screen), Sony Reader's Vizplex screen is slightly brighter in the worst case scenario (light coming from the side).
