They are similar, yes. The main difference is that with ".e= 'i" the speaker is the source of authority, whereas with ".ei= " it's just how the speaker feels things ought to be. With first p= erson actions the difference can be very subtle, but with second or third p= erson it's more clear: "ei" is "this ought to happen&quo= t;, whereas ".e'i" is "let this happen, make this happen= ". "ei gusni" "there ought to be light (but there's= nothing I can do about it)" "e'i gusni" "let there= be light (I command that it be so)".
