When diving trimix you must be concerned with far more than END. For you to even think about making this statement shows that you cannot see the forest for the trees here. Under your statement all trimix dives with an equivalent END and duration would have identical deco schedules. Now, care to guess again? Narcosis depth is exactly the thing that is planned for when mix diving. In addition to narcosis you want to avoid getting slobitis, which for many divers is a natural state.
