Evening,

Not exactly, separate ideologies of same software.

FCP has been part of Final Cut Studio for a while now even though it holds it's 
own version number currently FCP 7.?. Very much a Professional product with 
industry standards built in, etc..  

FCE is basically an upgrade to iMovie with some editing benefits of FCP mainly 
to do with input devices and exportable files via a compressor style product 
although reduced somewhat in offerings. LiveType is included I think not sure, 
but yes good value if all the bells and whistles of FCS are not needed. 

It will edit and transpose to many formats and output devices, how well 
compared to FCP not sure, but would be very close????

Higher quality formats like Red, 2k, and 4k would not be supported?
 
Cheers!!
