What is the main different between EXPERIAN Vantage Score (directly from their website) and EX fico score from this website?
 
Other than "Myfico are the only thing you have to worry about."

Vantage scoring has less emphasis on revolving util and a higher emphasis on credit mix and balances owed (not cc balances necessarily, maybe installment though, nobody really knows).
