There really is,'not guilty' means it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that you're innocent,'not proven' means they cant prove either way whether you're guilty or innocent,big difference for me but you're correct in that you walk away a free man with both verdicts

“ In November 2015, a jury found the case against him not proven, a verdict which has the same effect in law as not guilty.”
