I'll go with yes to a degree. Assuming both have the same gvwr, ie a single 5K axle vs 2 2500K total 5K axels. Also assuming both are net at about the same on the axel(s) say 3500 lbs.......I find the double axel tows best around 12-15% HW, the SA rig in the 15-18% range.
With this in mind, I would go for yes. BUT, also as noted, as using my above example, then if you are shooting for 12%, then the answer is the HW will be the same.
Reality is, like a lot of questions, the answer may not be a simple yes or no, but a depends on multiple items.
