Here is a plot overlaying the two years data from the above link.

From a pure statistical view, no they are not very different. But, like I said above, the next couple of months will be interesting. By September of last year, inventory was falling – this year it is still climbing. If that trend continues next month – or inventory stays flat – the difference can grow in a hurry. That of course does not account for the months of inventory either.
