front fog lights - "ellipsoid" vs "free-form"

Have a question on the front fog lights on 2002 and 2006 E53 models. On the older one, it seems that I have an "ellipsoid" type lens, like a magnifying lens, while on the newer one there is a "free-form" light. Is it the case across the model years? Or it is an option that had to be specified?

Is the "ellipsoid" type better than the "free-form"? I would think that it should be better as the light pattern would be more uniform and precise.

Any opinions?
