One important difference.

As far as I know Vasik plans to fix all cases when rybka does stupid tactical
errors that other programs avoid and he shares his plans for future rybka.

It is not clear if Amir plans to fix stupid tactical errors of  Junior and he
tells nothing about his plans of fixing cases that Junior does them.

For example Junior for years has problems with stalemate detection and Junior
can miss some stalemate combination and Amir tells nothing about the question if
he has plans to fix it sometimes in the future.

Vasik give details about knowledge that he is going to add to rybka.
Amir tells nothing about knowledge that he adds to Junior and the only way that
customaers can know about it is simply to buy the program and compare with
previous version.
