It’s Flow Groove vs Pad response. Flow Groove recesses allow silicone. Pad response requires pads because the recess is shallower.

Flow groove has limited choices to pads. As far as I know you can either use the Onedrop flow groove pad, or silicone it yourself. Pad response can use (I think) most all pads but does not allow you to silicone it yourself. So if you like pads get pad response, if you like to silicone it yourself, get flow groove.

Pads are pads, they all do have the same purpose. If you find one, buy it.
