Well, one principal difference is that the Vingan leaves the head dead. The Thanatari doesn't so much steal a power as enslave your soul. Gaining powers by vanquishing a foe and carrying/ritualising/eating a bit of it is traditional to lots of folks.
having said that, I'm not so sure where he's getting this idea of Vinga gaining power by capturing heads...
