It is not same. eev links are embedded in text and user need not move
to the endof sexp, it works from anywhere before the sexp with M-e

In your case there is problem:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable >)
  eval(> nil)
  elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
