I see method of loci more as "ram", whereas spaced repetition is moving things into a hard drive. For example, when reading, I'll often use a mental room with 10 spots x 3 key points per spot to keep an outline. Periodically, I'll go back and walk through the outline, looking up details where I have gaps (ie spaced testing). It's helpful that a spatial path lets you easily keep the temporal structure of the narrative.
