"Cobra Coil Creates a "Squawk""
There is a slight difference in the feel of the Rolling Guide (RG) vs Power Glide (PG). Also, if you record using the exact same settings then listen closely, the PG packs a tiny bit more of a punch than the RG.
Since Roland sold so many more PGs they now include the adjustable/removable "Cobra Coil" - a spring under the footboard for quicker return - as a standard feature on the RGs as an attempt to increase RG sales. For a double pedal I think that might be around a $60 value so might be worth it to go w the RGs.
One thing to keep in mind, when you play sixteenth notes on the bass - like on the song Swing Town by Steve Miller - the footboard and Cobra Coil conflict a bit creating a "squawking" noise. I think that might be inherent in the new design.
