there are parallels, and as such i do treat them similarly in a variety of 
ways (such as the value of the space). but they are divergent since the 
panel:

 o does not represent actions only
 o contains menus
 o contains completely dynamic and interactive elements
 o does not have a corresponding menu where the same items are found

these would likely all be style guide violations in a toolbar, but makes quite 
a bit of sense for the panel.

so i personally see them as the same but different.

User levels don't work. Panel space is valuable. Most users aren't coders.
Chances the above answered your question: too high.
