My opinion is that yes they should, because there is also non-monetary factor in what they bring in which is different (while all bucks are equal). This is not so pronounced with the VCs but try thinking about angels, i would accept way lower valuation on any product/company i will start from PG than from the wealthy guy next door who has no idea about what i will be doing.
