Wubi installer vs live CD

I like WUBI better than the live CD, because you don't need to do anything other than download the installer, then it basically installs by itself, after the user sets the amount of disk space and enters his/her preferred username/pass. But if you want to install Ubuntu separately as a whole other operating system, having nothing to do with Windows, you will need to use a live CD or DVD.

Is there any difference installing it one way or another? I now have an option - here in Japan - to get a live CD to get a live CD by getting a magazine. I'm going to suppose it's a standard Ubuntu installation in which I can choose English in the first screen.
