Scraper writing methods - Regss - 2013-01-06

Is there any difference between these two methods of writing scraper?

Code:
<RegExp input="$$7" output="\1" dest="5+">

                <RegExp input="$$6" output="&lt;credits&gt;\1&lt;/credits&gt;" dest="7">

                    <RegExp input="$$1" output="\1" dest="6">

                        <expression noclean="1">scenariusz:(.*?)&lt;/ul&gt;</expression>

                    </RegExp>

                    <expression repeat="yes" fixchars="1">title=[^&gt;]+&gt;([^&lt;]+)&lt;</expression>

                </RegExp>

                <expression noclean="1" />

            </RegExp>

Code:
<RegExp input="$$1" output="\1" dest="6">

                <expression noclean="1">scenariusz:(.*?)&lt;/ul&gt;</expression>

            </RegExp>

            <RegExp input="$$6" output="&lt;credits&gt;\1&lt;/credits&gt;" dest="7">

                <expression repeat="yes" fixchars="1">title=[^&gt;]+&gt;([^&lt;]+)&lt;</expression>

            </RegExp>

            <RegExp input="$$7" output="\1" dest="5+">

                <expression noclean="1" />

            </RegExp>

I can not understand the difference. The second way is to me more readable.
