The user-level stuff would certainly be a difference, yeah. So far I think I've convinced people here to avoid that like the plague.

It is definitely possible to drive any login flow based on AuthnContext rules with no explicit support from the login flow itself though, that should work fine unless they did some really weird stuff that would be ill-advised. I'll probably peek at that one based on that information.
