They are both "hardtails" (meaning non-tremolo), string-through-body bridges. The only difference is in the accuracy that intonation can be set.

well, apart from the vintage bridge looks totally bad arse, there isn't any noticible tone differences as they are both string through body ones.

Most of the long time Tele players will tell you it does matter. The examples that you posted will sound different, even if both guitars have the same single coil pickups. The bridge pickup mounted on the bridge is suppose to complete that Tele "twang sound".
