Well the first circuit has the gap across the line and the second 
has the cap across the line :-) That really is the only difference.
Both circuits work. The first circuit is a little easier on power
supply. NOTE: there are many other configurations that also work.
Tesla at one time or another showed every possible configuration of
LC oscillators.

Sounds like a very nice coil coming up!
