The spatial resolution is higher and it's at a different wavelength, so it contains different information.

I know, but I don't really see any additional features in this image. Looks like it's just absorption in both wavelength ranges. I'm sure they can get valuable info about the composition by analyzing the ratio between different wavelength bands, but it still looks qualitatively similar.
