First of all, these two types of passport all equal for the person that owns them - they are totally acceptable all across the world. But for the new-style biometric passport there is an opportunity to add some bio-parameter to the chip of the passport. This service isn't required, and still being in test period, but for some countries it can save a lot of time for now.
Second, as you've noticed, there are a lot of repeating paragraphs, as the passport are equal in their needs, they are equal in procedure to get them:
But the main difference between them is that for getting the bio-passport you have to get to the regulator for making picture of yourself (as it's being done with some additional biometrical filters) comparing with the old-style passport which can be done for a child less than 14 years without child being present in regulator's office.
Another easy to find difference is the price:
1000 RUR / 300 RUR
for a child30 USD / 10 USD
for a child2500 RUR / 1200 RUR
for a child80 USD / 40 USD
for a childMay be there are some other differences which can be found with detailed analysis of the texts you've linked but I think they matter only for a special cases.
If you can clarify what exactly you are concerned with, I'll try to investigate more.
