This comparison shows that the scattering amplitude in the bound state approach contains contributions generated by the exchange of the rigid pentaquark excitation, and that the two approaches are consistent with each other in the large $N_C$ limit. The comparison paves the way to unambiguously compute the width of the $Θ^+$ pentaquark in chiral soliton models.6 pages, based on talk presented at the mini workshop, "Exciting Hadrons", Bled, July, 2005High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentNuclear ExperimentNuclear Theorytext
