FWIW, I've anecdotally found that the high-bar full-depth OL type squat is a different beast from cutting depth *slightly* with a little wider stance and a lower bar position.

The OL style is a much more form-intensive move and doesn't always lend itself to higher reps. The lower bar style tends to be more of a brute-force lift. It's still a technique-driven lift, but it seems to be more "elastic" for lack of a better word than the full-depth squat.

Exhibit A - Full-depth OL style



Exhibit B - Lower-bar "athletic" style



The difference is really subtle, and you might not even be able to see it because of the differences in angle, but the gist of it is.....use the form that lets you achieve the workout goal. One style is more suited for top-end strength and few reps, while the other is more suited for somewhat higher reps.
