Very different designs. The ring ribbon tweeter will provide more symmetrical dispersion but this tweeter isn't a true ribbon tweeter. It is technically a planar as the voice coil is imprinted/etched onto the radiating surface, rather than the radiating surface itself being the electrical conductor as in a true ribbon tweeter.
Hard to compare the two tweeters as it is an apples to oranges type of comparison.

Ahh, I didn't realize that. Fascinating.
