Parsha: Sh'qalim - Sh'qalim vs. T'rumah

What's the difference between Sh'qalim and the collection in Parshat T'rumah?

In T'rumah, it's "n'div libbo" a free will offering. Sh'qalim is level, "heoshir lo yarbeh..."
L'mah haddavar domeh?
T'rumah is like a building fund - everyone gives according to his/her means
Sh'qalim is like dues, each gives equally.

Please embellish this and use it to spread some good Torah.

Shalom,
RRW
