Turboprop time is definitely less valuable. I've seen it first hand.
On an apples to apples basis vs Jet PIC than yeah sure. Many people still value the differing skill set Turbine PIC brings to the table in relation to command skill/decision making and all the random fun experiences one usually gathers flying a turboprop for any length of time.

Granted in today's job market it's infinitely more difficult getting to a major without Jet PIC (minority/Equal Opportunity not included) but I think turboprop PIC can open other doors (intl airlines, 121 supplementals) that thousands of hrs RJ SIC won't.

Granted this is just my opinion....
