Is there any difference between these two shifters;

and;

other than price?

2008 vs 2009, I think.

09 supports multiple shifts in either direction and has improved internals.

(awaits arrival of El Campag)

Its not 100% clear from the description but I suspect as Lumen says 2008 / 2009. The other alternative is carbon v alloy. Centuar 2009 comes in both.

2009 does allow multiple shifts up or down.

the description for both says that their both carbon which is what threw me...

Yeah, it's 2009 and 2008 there. 2009 supports multiple upshifts. It also has the new design, which means a bigger nub on top of the hoods and slightly longer levers.

Are all centaur front derailleurs braze on by default or are they different if you buy a dedicated band on one?

It's much the same thing, just the band-on one comes with the band and a different attachment.
