No. OP is comparing two Shimano 7-speed freewheels. Comparing both versions, the first 6 cogs (14T, 16T, 18T, 20T, 22T, and 24T) are exactly the same; they only differ as to the 7th cog (28T vs. 34T).

So, by choosing the freewheel with the bigger 7th cog, OP will get an easier bailout gear but a slower shift thereto because of the larger gap. OP may also need a longer chain.
