The difference is, that you can read the text on the VFD from every point in the room without seeing a difference in the colour.

So basically the vfd is a led dot matrix style and the cheaper one is a LCD ?

The main difference is that a LCD display shows up as black lettering on a colored background. The VFD display only lights the individual characters it needs to display, thus no backlighting is needed. Therefore you get a nice clean easy to read text
