This question and answers provides details on these collations and how they relate:
The only real difference is the sort order for some characters differs between the two collations. Character representation does not appear to differ.
The only thing I would add is that SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CS_AS is the default collation for the English (United States) locale, and Latin1_General_CS_AS is the default collation for any other English locale, such as English (United Kingdom).
