Default What's the difference in these heads?

12560801 - 2001 LS6 head (goes for $620.78 on gmpartsdirect.com)

12564825 - 2002 LS6 head (goes for $534.60 on gmpartsdirect.com)

So what's the difference? Why does one cost almost $100 more? Which would be better/easier to put on an F-body?

Sorry if it's been asked before or if it's a dumb question...

I forget why, but I got the 02 heads when I needed cores for my 422ci.

Worst case email parts@sdpc2000.com and see what they say they told me last time...
