I feel like I'd be doing you a disservice by telling you the differences (see also https://xkcd.com/1015/ https://xkcd.com/1015/). So please forgive me.
The most obvious difference would be the shapes of 'a', 'l', 'g'. Then there are finer details, like whether the circles in the letters are fully round (see Tenorite), a bit oval-lish, or consist of vertical lines capped by upper and lower curves (Grandview is the more extreme example of this). Also how a circle are attached to a line, in case of 'b', 'p', 'q' etc. whether it joins with the short end (Seaford's 'b' and 'q' looks joined) or left hanging.
And then of course, there's kerning i.e. how the letters are spaced. Some try to make the spacing consistent, others aim for balance when stringed together as a word.
Personally I'd have chosen Bierstadt for its choice of a/l/g, although I don't like its kerning between c and k.
