Are there any differences in culture and mentality between Ghegs and Tosks?

Ghegs historically had harsher laws and blood feuds. Blood-feuds with Tosks ended earlier, although my great-grandfather almost got into one during the interwar years. Tosks for the most part are also more secular than Ghegs. In terms of mentality I think Ghegs are more tribalistic in my opinion. In terms of mentality, the Ghegs are more independent minded and hard-headed than Tosks. For example, there is a great amount of scholarship in Shkodra that maintains a unique dialect of that region versus the standard Albanian used throughout the country.
Lab Albanians are the closest to Ghegs in terms of mentality. Also my paternal family is descended from Ghegs. Either ways, I think the gheg/tosk division is artificial. Because of laws against incest, Ghegs and Tosk already intermarried and had children even before modern times.
