I use the BLF keys on both only with hints (it works seemlessly). The Yealink 
makes a blind transfer to the destination. For the Snom you have to press 
"Transfer" + the BLF key to make a blind transfer. On the Yealink an idle BLF 
key lights green and on ringing or busy turns to red. On a Snom the BLF is off 
on idle on turns on (yellow) when busy.

I have not much used the XML features, so I cannot comment on that, except the 
AstLinux directory works on both.
