Triple (30 x 11-27/28) vs. Compact 34 x 11-32?

Would a triple in its lowest gear -- 30 x 27/28 -- feel and perform pretty much identical to a (Secteur Elite Apex) compact in its lowest gear -- 34 x 32? I've played around with Sheldon Brown's gear calculators, but I don't know which units are most useful. Both bikes would be pretty close to 1:1, which I guess would be the same.
