They're adjacent cuts but anatomically different muscles. The skirt steak is part of the diaphragm (the muscle that separates the lungs part from the belly part and aids breathing). Well as far as my high-school biology memories go, not a doctor or a vet so I may be completely wrong....
Tonight I had the second half of the steak and this time snapped few pictures along the way:
First some salt and pepper and leave it at room temperature while making the salad:

After quick sear and resting cut it across the grain:

Finally, I put it on a bed of mashed potatoes and with the salad my plate was overflowing:

Dunno about bang for the buck though, at my store it's almost double what ribeye costs, but it has more flavor so I still get it. It may be a local thing though and in the rest of the country could be cheaper than the premium cuts.
T-Bone tonight, will definately be posting pictures, they are huge. Better be awesome it was expensive lol.
Ordered it, so had to pay for it :( lol

Well gents, huge big TBone, I think I'm fit to pop. Served with shrooms and garlic mash. Oh and blue cheese sauce.

Update, each steak weighed 1lb 2oz, meat alone raw. We just weighed the bones lol.

I was half an hour too late to the store and they'd already put away the fresh whole fish, so I got filet - swordfish. Finished it with butter and tarragon so it got pretty deep color.
For a side I had some leftover kale and with some dandelion sauteed them in the fat of two slices of thick cherry smoked bacon.
The wine was riesling, a quarter of the bottle went for deglazing the swordfish skillet, another half is already gone and the last quarter is already in my glass :)
