They are not the same. The way the new system works is you get the same exotics but it has different skills like one may come with intelligence and strength. Another may be strength and discipline

Correct, I noticed this too. I can understand its use for people who are super hardcore into PVP (I am not) even though it's pretty simple to balance those ability perks with other non-exotic armor pieces, including the new bonds / cloaks / marks (it seems to be one of their main purpose actually)? I think Bungie failed because those duplicates add frustration to the players (I am finding more and more posts on this subject) when they had the "perfect solution" with the rerolls (boy do I miss them and everybody applauded when they came up with them). Oh well...
