Getting the Welcome Page for a SharePoint Publishing Site

I wish I had found this sooner, it could have saved me a lot of time:

private static bool IsWelcomePage(string url)
{
    bool rslt = false;

    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(url))
    {
        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
        {
            if (PublishingWeb.IsPublishingWeb(web))
            {
                PublishingWeb pweb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(web);
                string defaulturl = pweb.DefaultPage.Url;

                if (defaulturl == new Uri(url).GetComponents(UriComponents.Path, UriFormat.SafeUnescaped))
                {
                    rslt = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return rslt;
}
