It's not "very" different. It might be different but it is more likely to be "very" similar. However, all stylus shapes will react differently, but it's often thought that the tip of the stylus against a flat surface will produce more friction than the stylus in a groove. That means there might be more pull from a flat surface than from a groove. It really depends on the particular stylus shape.
Even though there are two contact points when the stylus is in the groove, the force against each of the contact points is smaller than the force of the tip against a flat surface. For example, if you were tracking at 2-grams, the force of the tip against a flat surface would be 2-grams. The force against each wall of the groove would be only 1.4-grams.
