Vaude Aqua panniers - Pro or not 'Pro' ...?

so it seems there are two choices in Vaude Aqua panniers:
These:

And 'Aqua Pro':

Latter seem to have a couple more litres capacity maybe and style is slightly different - but otherwise does anyone know if there is any substantial difference?
Both seem to have 'inside pocket' in the spec, when I've heard that actually an outside pocket is much preferable. The 'pro' version seem to come out a tenner cheaper at most stores.
Also, I am coming at this as a complete pannier newb. I have a Specialised Allez road bike - it has the holes in the frame, which I believe are requisite number one.
Can you give me an idiot's guide as to what I need re. attachment system?
Thanks.

Hi there,
you basically just need a suitable rack, and most will do, for reference I have a Topeak Super Tourist DX, but there are lighter racks out there that will do the same job.
I would repost on the commuting forum, as you will likely get more recs on there,
