I dont think they are as strong in general. I wonder if they are variegated because of some type of genetic virus (like cannas with viruses are). If it didnt have irregular variegation than I would probably say that it is as strong as any other Musa Basjoo, but the fact that it doesnt makes me think that if it dies to the ground, it wont come back from the main plant (and maybe not variegated. Im not really sure though!
