When I went for mine they made quite clear the differences.
NATS are investing a shed-load of money in you. The medical expenses from the CAA are the least of their worries. The CAA medical covers you for a few years, as such you need to be 'fit enough' at the time of the medical. The NATS medical is set out to make sure you are employable as an ATCO for a lifetime.
