[Genealib] ALE vs. consumer version of <ancestry.com>

Earlier I wrote:

an Ancestry.com spokesperson which stated:
"Ancestry Library does not include the following collections: Family & 
Local Histories, Historical Newspapers, OneWorldTree, Filby's Passenger 
and Immigration Lists Index, Biography & Genealogy Master Index (BGMI), 
and Freedman's Bank Records. "

   I encountered another difference today--one which really surprised 
me. For the 1890 Special Census of Union Veterans, the full-blown 
"consumer version" gives you everything you get for regular federal 
censuses--including images, but ALE only gives you the index citation 
from Ronald Vern Jackson's old printed indexes (that may not have been 
their source, but it matches the fields returned).
