They are the same, except they have a different skin. One is normal blue, other is red.
Personally, I hate it when something small is applied (like the red spots on the Antares blasters) to something huge (Antares blasters onehitkill Mantis on Vega 4). Now, I know it will take time to get new models and textures done, but I think it'll be worth it. Players want to see new content, (well, from my experience), not old content which was overhauled. I did some sketches of what I thought the Ion Inferno should look like, but I am too lazy to scan them now XD
I just want to say, if you got the time SS, I think you should do a bit of change on the Antares Blasters (of course, creating totally new ones would be far more epic). Cheers!
P.S. I'll upload my sketch when I'm not lazy q-q
