2 spool vs. 3 spool and N1 vs. EPR are the big things.


Rolls used to turn the opposite way, but the newer GE engines "turn both ways" (the low and high spool turn opposite directions) so that parts no longer true.
Lesser but still important - newer GE engines have composite fan blades while Rolls are still titanium.
