A difference is that "Balance" checks things other than html tags - like parentheses & bracket pairing in text and code files.

Another aspect of "Balance" can give you different behavior:

From Expert Preferences:
By default, the "Balance" command (or double-clicking on a delimiter to balance) does not include the delimiters in the resulting selection. If you would like for it to do so: defaults write com.barebones.bbedit BalanceIncludesDelimiters -bool YES

I'm having trouble seeing the difference between Balance and Balance tags. For example, with this code snippet:

<ul>
<li>Book 1</li>
<li>Book 2</li>
<li>Book 3</li>
</ul>

If my cursor is on "Book 1" and I use either Balance or Balance tags, the result is the same. All of Book 1 is selected. If I hit either again, everything between the ul tags is selected. So, when do these two operations act differently?
