It does not have the <style...></style> bits, otherwise the same.
The big point of hiving all off to a linked sheet is that this
sheet then controls all the the html pages, change in one
instructions affects all the html pages, you lose this power if
you include the styles either inline or in the head.

on the other hand, you gain if there are very few exceptions to
the general styles in one or two pages - a small entry in the
head of some styles just for those pages saves the head from
having to be all church like and invent classes and ids to cover
these cases in so few instances.
