Are reprogrammed adult stem cells somehow inferior to embryonic ones?

Everything I've heard about it is that adult stem cells that have been reprogrammed to a pluripotent state are exactly identical to embryonic stem cells in every way. Is that the truth?
I'm looking for a scientific answer here, not socio-political commentary, sound bite transcribes or bumper sticker material. Just yes or no with some kind of SCIENTIFIC elaboration.
Thank you.
BTW I've also posted this question under the biology category, still awaiting responses.
