Did you mean except for the magnets?

    Yes, there is a difference. Take note of the shaft design.

                  The top one  is Centrotec with the longer straight rear portion of the shaft.

                  The second one is a regular 1/4" hex bit holder. It will not fit into a Centrotec chuck.

                  I believe the bottom one is the impact version designed for impact drivers. It will not fit into a Centrotec chuck.

      Maybe I or others can help a little more if we know what bit, driver, holder connections you want to make.

Im using the bit holder that came with my CXS drill with festool pozidrive bit. The bit holder cant even hold the pozidrive bit. It is worse than my bosch bit holder magnet. I don't want to use Centrotec Quick Release

Currently it looks like it comes with a BH 60 CE.

Maybe it's just a bad magnet?  Not sure.

I haven't had a problem with that type not holding bits.  I have , like others , had the magnet come out of the holder. I just super glued it back in.

The Festool magnetic bit holder from the CXS measures 9.58mm at the thickest point.  The Festool magnetic bit holder from the Ti 15 measures 11.08mm at the thickest point.  Both are Centrotec and can be inserted on either tool, but only the thicker one is impact-rated.

Thought I would note for anyone who hasn't picked up a BHS 60 CE yet that Festool has a limited edition set out right now in an adorable Christmas ornament-sized blue systainer. I'm not sure when these became available or how widely distributed they are; my regular dealer had a few when I was in last week and asked if I wanted one because he knows how much of a collector fanboy I am. [eek] The catalog number is 205487, but I don't see it listed on Festool's website anywhere.

Albeit not in blue, but these are/ will be regular items. The last one is impact rated.
