The one on the left is the death star. The one one the right is the devil's bowling ball.
Ironically more useful; multiple firing arrays at lower power settings mean it can selectively reduce its destruction to merely glassing a planet, cracking it open, or total obliteration. I mean having a super weapon is all well and good but obliterating a planet is usually overkill.
Why can't they just turn a dial down? Or maybe they can. It was a terror weapon, not an efficiency weapon. Your entire planet being just gone and not even a grave site people can visit is a pretty scary thing.
