XKR radiator vs xk8

I found the first difference and need to know what else is different. I bought a used XKR radiator to install in my 1997 XK8. So far I've noticed the transmission fluid cooling line fittings are opposite gender (XKR radiator is male, XK8 radiator is female). I can overcome the male-male problem with female-female couplers assuming the lines can flex to handle the added 1" length. But will I run into other problems by using the wrong radiator?

I had the good fortune of needing to replace my radiator earlier this year. Ordered what I thought was the correct radiator and pulled out the old one only to find the transmission cooler lines wouldn't work. Ordered the opposite radiator and all was made right.
I had both new radiators in my garage for a few days and was able to compare the two.
Difference? Both were identical except for one version (the one that worked for my 2001 XK8) had an adaptor coupling to change gender on the fitting. I could have taken it off and put it on the other radiator and it would have worked as well. Both were Nissen, which is the OEM manufacturer for my year.
The only other difference? Over $200 USD in price! Very expensive adaptors.
