[CHAT] Late to the Q-Snap party - an alternate?

Hi all,

Having had way too many handed-down hoops and scroll frames since childhood, I never got around to buying any Q-snap frames. Much later I realized how cool they were and that I probably should have been using them or at least tried them.

I was at a JoAnn superstore the other day for the first time in years, and while on a fabric search I came across a couple of Dritz "Quilt 'n' Go" frames and said to myself, "those sure do look the same." Since they were on clearance, and since the store contained neither Q-snaps nor any employees who had even heard of Q-snaps, I ended up snagging them in what was frankly an impulse buy. They seem cool, but should I have just held off and ordered brand-name Q-snaps? For anybody who's seen these, do you know if they are basically interchangeable?
