Not really any different having two jewellery stores opposite each other in a shopping mall giving you the feeling of choice. Only to discover they are owned by the same company.

I saw Shane Robison give a talk about the HP+Compaq merger. [1] He advantage that came from the merger was getting more shelf space in retail stores. Having some influence and/or control of what got displayed in the HP shelfspace and the Compaq shelfspace was considered valuable.
