They do use the same modeling software (Gearbox) but the pod is way more versatile. It's basically a programmable pedal if I'm not mistaken. I have the Toneport UX1 which is great for recording but very limited to being just an external sound card/interface. Much cheaper though.
If all you are after is recording, go for the Toneport to save the dough. I can say there are times I wished I had the pod to be able to switch tones with the touch of a button.
I'm sure you will get better feedback from members who have used both.
