Spindle Gouges

What is the difference between a spindle gouge and a detail gouge
other than the grind? Are the flutes the same depth?
Generally the detail gouge has a much more shallow flute. I have one or
each and sharpen them with a fingernail grind. The spindle gouges are
not quite as rigid as the detail gouge. Grinding will not change the
difference between the two tools.
