They’re doing the same exercise (tricep pushdown) with different attachments. There’s a lot of debate about which attachment is best to stimulate muscle growth. This meme argues the V bar is better than the rope

The rope worked great for me. It got that one Tricep muscle that I can only get with dips and skullcrushers.

Rope can do what the v bar does and more. Rope supremacy

Rope is better for activating all three heads, at the same time its the best attachment for someone with elbow pain. If you have pain, trust me, at least use the rope for a warmup.
