Also, I find RDLs to be quite different from conventional deadlifts. The hips are a bit higher, and when you do RDLs for reps, you usually (I think) don't let the bar rest on the ground, as you should with a conventional deadlift. This doesn't mean they're not a good exercise, though, or that they won't help your conventional deadlifts. It just means that it's not a perfect replacement.
