The difference is ignition/break-even in MCF gets you 90% of the way to being able to actually generate power. ITER will get you something like a q of 10 for ten minutes. An indirect ICF like this experiment at the NIF needs to be replicate ignition a million times a day at two magnitudes greater efficiency.
