As far as I can tell, there are two major differences:
- Plastic (glass-filled Nylon) vs Aluminum body
- Place of Manufacture
(tradeoffs here -- reference Andy Baker's 2009 Small Business lectures for advantages of local part sourcing)
It's all about final application, particularly with respect to #1. Neither is superior to the other without context.
