How close are they?

ΔE 14.0, fair: the same colour family, but not a straight swap. Doomfire Magenta is much more saturated than Magenta. They are different kinds of paint: AK Interactive Magenta is an opaque base/layer paint and Citadel Doomfire Magenta is a one-coat contrast-style paint, so they won’t behave the same on the model even where the colour is close.
