There are some differences. Notably, there is residual charge remaining in the capacitors after the shot. If i recall, Eric mentioned that about 70% of the energy goes into the plasmoid; the other 30% is recovered in a second capacitor bank. The amount of x-rays is not fully worked out, and depends on the optimization of the magnetic field.
