Focal length vs smaller pixels

Ok, I've been thinking about this and think I know but I thought I would throw this out there to get some other opinions...

My question is: Is there any difference, as far as real feature resolution in the final image, between doubling your focal length with the same size pixels and halving your pixels size with the same focal length?

The resulting image scale (arc"/pixel) is the same
