It seems to me that with such a price ETH to surpass the original will not be difficult. For me, ETH has long ceased to be a coin number 2. It is held only by the fact that there are a lot of coins on hand and ETH blocking is used for tokens.
ETHL is not very familiar on the market unlike ethereum which is most popular among altcoins. I do not believe for ETHL to have same price as ETH. When there is a fork going to happen for ethereum, price going to dump but will not going to surpass by other coin like ETHL because it is just new small number of investors know about it.
