Does Precedence 5 always equal DCSP CS5?

I've been reading the new Cisco Press DQOS book. I highly recommend it.
It's basically a tutorial on each of cisco's queuing tools.
 
Anyway, it directly links Precedence and DCSP because of the overlapping
bit fields used in the packet.
 
Taking this concept a bit farer; my question is can you use DCSP CS5
and Precedence 5 interchangeably?
 
I can envision a lab question stating all voice traffic (via dial peer)
in the network should be marked with a DCSP value of 40.
 
Could you image the possible time wasted trying to mark the voice
traffic via dcsp, when a simple precedence command could do it.
 
 
Thanks for Your Time,
 
Michael
