Default Type R's The difference

Whats the difference between the type R Impreza's with the roof vent and the ones without. Is the engine the same in both. Just wondering cause the ones with the roof vent are alot dearer over here

You pay more for the Limited edition Type'R', the normal Type'R's as just as much fun tho
