Are the 3.2 Trial Download and Install DVD the same?

Trying to determine if I should install from disk after I receive a valid key from Adobe.  Is there any material on disk that is not in the Trial download?  If so is there a way to add that without re-installing?  If not, is there a downside to re-installing?

The version on the DVD will be 3.0. It is not a good idea to install a older version of software over a more recent version. At the best you will then have to re download 3.2 to update and at the worst (and it happened often with LR 2.0 installs) installing a older version of LR over a more recent version can cause problems (see posts passim on this). Adobe issued specific advice in the case of LR 2 against using the disk.
Install the downloaded version either 3.2 or the 3.3 RC and use the serial number that comes with the disk. The disk is pretty pointless for LR, it contains no "extras" and you are much better off with the downloaded version always.
