Is Apache/PPC-6700 w/WM6 "WM6" for Visual Studio build target purposes?

This might be an idiotic question, but is an Apache/6700 that's been reflashed to "WM6" with the ROM kitchen a "real" WM6 device that's capable of handling anything Visual Studio 2005 w/WM6 Pro SDK can throw at it (like, presumably, a Mogul/6800 is)? Or is its "WM6-ness" kind of a fragile facade that's prone to crack and fall off in big metaphorical chunks if you get a little "too aggressive" about taking advantage of "new to WM6" features for things like Bluetooth and WiFi?

Put another way, if something (like directly grabbing the compressed audio stream from a bluetooth headset's mic) using the native wm6 libraries would theoretically work on a Mogul/6800, should it theoretically work on a kitchen-reflashed Apache/6700 as well? Or (as I've seen alluded by some people), is "WM6" on an Apache/6700 really more of a UI & application facelift perched on top of driver binaries that will crash, burn, and go down in flames if you try to get them to do anything that WM5 didn't support?
