The problem with equal is that if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup of sugar, a 1/2 cup of equal would make the item too sweet. It also doesn't really melt, it disolves. Splenda I think has the consistency of sugar, so a 1/2 cup of sugar is a 1/2 cup of splenda.

I personally don't like Splenda, because it gives me a headache, and has a strange aftertaste. Equal has an aftertaste too, but I'm kinda used to it - -but would never use it for baking.
