Hi Ardash,
The Cognite SDK’s are convenience packages that leverage CDF’s RESTful web APIs.  So no, there is no difference.  The benefit of the SDKs is to handle many cross cutting concerns and best practices when consuming the CDF APIs (auth, retry, web requests, ...). Limits and request sizes are documented here:
