We compare a multi-level statistical model with a two-level model for the decay out of superdeformed rotational bands in atomic nuclei. We conclude that while the models depend on different dimensionless combinations of the input parameters and differ in certain limits, they essentially agree in the cases where experimental data is currently available. The implications of this conclusion are discussed.
