if people can get two masters @ $300, that is HUGE for the purposes of us here on this forum. but i want the actual proof that it's evaluated as such, and not speculation.
i don't think it pans out.
The speculation goes both ways at the moment. You speculate that it won't, others speculate that it could. However, the fact that it's accredited gives a bit more weight to the "could" side.
Nevertheless, we need to be clear on what an evaluation is. It's a third-party opinion, and opinions can vary based on the evaluation service. One service may deem it equivalent, and another may not. Even if someone gets an evaluation and it isn't deemed equivalent, the degree is still legitimately accredited in Spain, therefore the degree earned while accredited is legitimate and nothing can change that. Most American employers are not asking for foreign degree evaluations (nor do most know they even exist), so that's not much of a worry. Some will want to know if it's accredited: worker shows that it is accredited and approved by Spain's government, done.
Now, if a person is looking to use the degree to enter an American Doctoral program, things will get trickier as it's unlikely most American schools will take the degree credits without a 3rd party evaluation first. But, some schools evaluate these things on their own, and those schools are more likely to approve it. Lots of variables, but starting from a place of "accredited" is always a good start.
