LED and MP3 Project For Scoreboard

What is the difference between the MAX7219 and the TPIC6B595?

Ultimately I'm looking for a compact package. I was thinking that once I finalized the design the 7 segment displays and circuitry for each side of the scoreboard would be on its own PCB.

I guess I'll tinker around and read some more so I can actually understand the answers to the questions I ask.
Thanks
