STP vs. flex-link...

I came across a task (1.2) in IPExpert's Volume 2 Section 5 lab that
contained this:

"There are two links connecting Cat-2 and Cat-3 together. Make sure
that if one link fails, the other will start working but not until
then."

The proctor guide says to use flex-link, but my solution while I was
working through the lab was STP. If you have set the root bridge as
Cat-2 (which was part of this task), doesn't this accomplish practically
the same thing? I know there are more than 1 way to skin a cat, just
wanted to make sure there wasn't something I'm overlooking...

Thanks,
Ron
