I don't know if this is different now as it's been a while since I've had floor layers.
Floor layers are a thinner material, cooler and a bit more comfortable, but stains more easily.
The knee pad pockets have a stronger material and last longer without wearing through.
The pocket layout is different too.
I prefer the layout on the duratwill and I've usually knackered the trousers up before the knee pad pockets are too bad anyway. If you gave an Arco near you they usually have them all in stock so you can compare in person.

Stop pretending your a 32" waist then lame, when you give in and admit your a 38" everything will fit better!

Bar steward, I know I am approaching croppie's waistline, trouble is the 38" waists never have long enough legs and the 40" just fall off my bum all day!!

Old jeans as we always did before the building sites turned into some kind of fashion parade and the vans all looked like some kind of custom car show.
