USA model?: Manufactured in usa by upjohn and watson. If not a counterfeited product, i would think both should work about the same. I did see one non-professional website that claimed that "it takes longer for the watson form to take effect, " but I do not know if this is true or not.
Also get your levels checked after you are started on this. If the level is good, your symptom control should be good.
