The differences are very minor.The CFM starts quicker and it needs less time after start to warm up. The only oddities are if you have a DAC (Dual annular combustor) CFM. This was an attempt by CFM to try and make it more efficient but it never really delivered on what they hoped. It has different acceleration schedules and restrictions on using DES mode. Intermixing is allowed.
