The only difference is that "QGIS Desktop 2.10.1 with GRASS 6.4.3"
loads GRASS 6 provider + plugin while  "QGIS Desktop 2.10.1" does not.
No big gain running the version without GRASS, probably few tenths of
second on start.

I am not win package maintainer so I am not sure why there is the
version without GRASS.

BTW: GRASS 7 is not yet ported to win 64 bit.
