Difference between Pernod and Ricard?

I've had Pernod but was wondering if it was worth the effort to seek out a bottle of Ricard. How do they compare against eachother? Same drink different name, or distinct in their own right?

Pernod is more yelloy and a bit more intense. Richard is a little mellower and lighter in color. Seek out Henri Bardouin for the best in Pastis.

To me Pernod is sweeter than Ricard, while Ricard is more herbal.
