In principle there’s no difference, but 1Password did happen to improve the security in parallel with their transition to a cloud-centric product. That being said it’s worth noting that behaviour can be as important as technology. For example if a cloud-centric solution is more convenient, its users are less likely to engage in security compromising behaviours such as copying and pasting passwords, or declining to use a password manager at all outside of their local device context.
