Answer 1

After doing some Investigation i found the answer. There are no differences between these two extensions. Both tools are generating proxy classes based on same T4 template. There is no differences in generated code as well.

The only difference is the OData Connected Service is, Visual studio 2015 supports GUI wizard to generate the client code.
