Any comments on flavor differences between these? Is there a perceptible difference when used in pale ales? I wouldn't expect to be able (personally) to appreciate a difference between them when used in a brown/porter/stout/etc.

I'm ready to buy a 50# sack of one or the other. I've used the brewers 2 row pale malt on a number of occasions, but never the pale ale malt, so just looking for some opinions/input.

Thanks.
 
Most likely imperceptible to anyone.

I use the pale ale just because it's a point darker, and same cost.

For lighter beers than pales and such, use two-row to maintain a light color.
 
I stocked up on Great Western Pale opposed to their regular 2-row because I thought it was a good compromise between a standard 2-row and something like Maris Otter Pale.
