The only difference I am aware of is the speed bleeder contains a check valve to allow one man to do it. It will not change how hard or often you push down the pedal to bleed the brakes.
There is a problem with Speed Bleeders on an older vehicle (even one as new as yours ;) ). That is that it will invite you to over stroke that master cylinder and that takes the high pressure over territory that they have not encountered recently. I have known this to cause the master cylinder to begin internal leakage (sinking pedal).
