Classifieds VS Land Option ... What's the Difference?

I'm wondering what the difference is between placing a regular classified ad vs. listing under Search>Places though Land Options in the About Land interface.

What I've figured out on my own ... Land Options is 30L$ instead of the normal 50L$ minimum for classifieds. Land Options apparently doesn't give you any stats, like number of teleports from your ad. Land Options also has a very small description allowed compared to classifieds. I believe both are listed on the SL website as well as on the in-world Search? Are there any other differences I'm missing?

Thanks for your help!

Classifieds have a variable pricing model where those who pay more show up at the top. Classifieds don't necessarily equate to a place in world (there can be multiple classifieds from products at the same location for example).

Places are limited to 1 per parcel, are fixed price and or initially sorted from highest Traffic to lowest.
