The goal is to balance out O3 and O6 in an effort to control systematic inflammation. The total mgs are almost irrelevant. "Multiplication" marketing is also irrelevant in this case due to a grain fed serving coming with a much worse starting O3/O6 balance.
Like everything else it's a choice. Similar to buying farm raised salmon over wild caught. There is certainly a difference between the two choices.
