Both look like ribbon stripe Sapele to me but it is difficult to tell from the pics though. I have some striped Honduran Mahogany that looks very similar.
EIR has always been higher priced in the wholesale market place and these prices ultimately get passed on to the consumer. Both woods have increased about 200-300% respectively over the last decade. I agree with Broc in that I suspect Honduran Mahogany may surpass EIR soon because of the CITES restrictions. When you see the big factories making the switch to Sapele and Khya that tells you that they are having difficulty obtaining wood in large enough volumes to support their production requirements. Their demands are quite different from ours though but I suspect there will always be wood floating around for us little guys though
