They are exactly the same except one is balanced and one is SE.
Here's a quick education for a few of you who seem to have the wrong idea about what balanced does for you: If you're trying balanced vs SE on the same amp and the amp is designed to be run balanced, balanced will ALWAYS sound better. That's because you have double the power running through the balanced side. An amp designed to run well SE can sound as good as, if not better, than any given balanced amp. One is not inherently better sounding than the other.
In fact, the example I use ALL THE TIME to demonstrate this is the NFB-28 and NFB-29. One is designed for SE and one is designed for balanced, even though they both have both ports. When used correctly (balanced through 28, SE through 29), they should sound exactly the same. Here's what Audio-GD has to say on the subject:
So if you have all SE cables, get the 29. If you have all balanced cables, get the 28. If you have neither, go balanced for one simple reason: you can always convert a balanced headphone cable to SE with a simple, cheap adapter. You cannot do the same to a SE cable. That means you can use your balanced cables with any amp but you can only use your SE cables with SE amps.
Here's something I posted in another thread to help explain balanced vs SE:
