I think ACE is only "low end" credit because most universities won't accept it. And most universities won't accept it because it's "low end". There is nothing wrong with ACE credit. The only thing wrong with ACE credit is that universities want to squeeze as much money out of you as possible and so don't accept it in transfer.

I think there is some ACE credit that is not college-level, and that's where the discrepancy lies.

Is there? Even so, there is also graduate-level ACE credit (not that most people can use it). I still say that the only reason why ACE credit isn't widely accepted is because it's not accepted for money reasons. I mean, most places don't accept (all) CLEP exams and CLEP exams are some of the most reputable and possibly the most regulated alt-credits.
