ECS K7S5A Bios

I just bought an ECS K7S5A mother board. I noticed that the AMI Bios is large and rectangular. Other users has indicated that their AMI Bios is small and squre, I also a picture of the board in AnandTech review of the SIS 735 chipset, that the bios was small and squere. Can somebody tell me what is the difference between this two bios if any. Why some boards use the small one why others use the large rectangular one?
 
I think that ECS switched for some reason, maybe cost or supply problems. The change is insignificant to the function of the board so don't worry about it.
The new redesigned version of this board does use a different bios chip entirely - switched from AMI to Award I believe. This change is welcomed by some users since Award is a more common bios for many home builders.
