There maybe a difference but it is not important to use if it does not work for you or you do not enjoy using powder foundation. There are lots of other option and not necessary to keep trying to use something that does not work for you.

I have tried many powder foundations..I come to the conclusion, I don't like powder foundation at all.   I think the idea behind powder foundation is ...it's the lazy techinique.  Great if it works!    My findings have been, they either cake, or break up, or or just plain un-natural, and chauky.   I have found liquid foundations that go on quick, easy, and natural looking.  No BIG effort.  Then..I top with a white powder from Maybeline, on T-zone.   One I like is PTR foundation...quick, no blending, and nice luminous finish.

Laura  Gellers bal n brighten - my favorite so far but compacts are so diff from one to another. 

Laura baked foundation - I didn't orig like this one but a diff brush made a diff.  

BE - I have a container of it. Haven't used in a long time. 

Too faced Cocoa fdn - did not like.  Was more of a powder for me. 

I do think they are all diff. I wish I could find a great one.  I prefer powder over liquid.

I have always wanted to find the perfect powder foundation because I have oily t zone and powder just seems easier.  I love to do the one side of face in one thing and other side in another and can never tell the difference.  I have used It celebration, Bare Minerals compact and loose,  Laura geller B & B.  Lancome, Clinique, pur minerals, many mineral ones, Pur. Tarte, becca, and probably some I forgot and other than color cannot tell much difference in formula.   I have wondered about Doll 10.  I really like her mascara.

I primarily use powder foundation and yes, there is a lot of difference between them.

I have tried all the powder foundations from the Q and none of them are on my hit list. 

I have combination skin ... oily tzone. I have never found a powder foundation that I did not have to touch up at least once during the day. I work in public information for a county government and I run the government tv channel and am on TV every day. So, powder foundations have to really do the job...,I do use some airbrush makeup at times... but time wise, I rely on powder foundations.

Here are my hit list powder foundations. 

My hit list. 

1. MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation - the one I always have on hand no matter what powder I am trying and the one I always come back to. Perfect color match for me in NW20 or NW22. This one looks the best on TV. 

2. Clinique Beyond Perfecting Powder Foundation - this is a good one, looks decent on tv, wears well and also a good color match for me with Clinique foundations. 

3. Lancome Dual Finish - an oldy but goody but doesn't wear as long on my combo skin but also a really good color match.  I wear it a lot on my none tv days.

4. Bobbi Brown Skin Weightless Wear Powder Foundation - I like this foundation but she doesn't make this powder in my color for Bobbi Brown foundations which is Warm Sand... I have to use Sand which is a little light for me. I wear this one a lot off tv days. 

Yeah... I have a lot of powder foundations.  I am always looking for the perfect one and MAC comes the closest.

The very best I've found is Everyday Minerals online. I love their Semi-matt base and they have lots of free samples . Great CS too. I've been shopping with them for years.
