No, they are one and the same. I'm not an expert electrician but I do a lot of handy work around my house and local businesses. 110v, 115v, 120v and 125v are all the same. It has to do with voltage drops and increases due to supply and demand over varying distances from the power plant. Don't worry about the technical aspects of it all. In the same manner, 220v, 230v, 240v, and 250v are all the same also, just double of the original 110v. You probably shouldn't see 230v and 250v very much though. No biggie, whatever, all the 100's are the same and all the 200's are the same.
