What is the difference between an EventAggregator and an EventBinder in a basic puppet?

From the documents in Marionette.EventAggregator and Marionette.EventBinder, the code is exactly the same. I guess there is a difference that I am missing, what is it? When to use each of them?

The main difference was intention. These articles explain the purpose of EventAggregator:

The purpose of EventBinder was to manage dependencies in event bindings, as described first by Johnny Oshika: Backbone.js: repeat or recreate a view?

...

Moving forward with Marionette and Backbone v0.9.9, however, EventBinder is now deprecated since Backbone.Events now includes listenTo and stopListening . EventAggregator takes care of everything that Backbone.Events does not cover. This is for Marionette v1.0-rc3 and higher. If you are still using Marionette v1.0-rc2 or the previous one, you will still need an EventBinder.
