The difference between the two is as in my previous post. 

The real world difference used to be that cheap bikes came with one piece cranks, and if you were a lad with some money then a three piece crank upgrade was the thing to do.

For racers, aluminium three piece cranks were lighter than one piece.

Do yourself a favour and have a browse through the museum here. You're bound to find a crank you like the look of in there.   :)
