Is there any proof that graphical links don't weigh as much as text link ads do?

The "alt" attribute has always been designed for text-based browsers and accessibility utilities such as text-to-speech for the blind, etc.

Ok I researched a little and I was wrong about alt attribute, Graphic links do pass on PR like any other link but unfortunately you do not get the benefits of the anchor text which basically is the most important thing in SEO as it to a certain extent determines your keywords.

So you lose the benefit of the keyword ranking but they pass just as much PR? The reason for my concern is because the link to my Link Directory used to be in the form of a text link and now it's in the form of a graphical link. It's a PR7, and I think that's awesome for a directory, and I don't want it to go down at the next PR upgrade solely as a result of it not being text.
