What's the different between "Redux::setSection( $opt_name, array(....)" and "$this->sections[] = array(...)" ?

Hi Treehousers, I'm learning to build wp theme with redux framework theme option. When I generate custom theme from the redux sandbox, the "sample-config.php" give me different code from the "Redux Master" (the master file of Redux that need to be embed to the theme).

My question is : what is the different between :

"Redux::setSection( $opt_name, array(...."

and

"$this->sections[] = array(..."

?

I've read redux doc, but don't quite understand :

http://docs.reduxframework.com/core/sections/getting-started-with-sections/

http://docs.reduxframework.com/core/redux-api/

Thank You

Jo

PS : Here's both code :

// ======= Here's the code from "sample-config.php"

$this->sections[] = array(
                'icon'      => 'el-icon-website',
                'title'     => __('Styling Options', 'redux-framework-demo'),
                'subsection' => true,
                'fields'    => array(
                    array(...


//  =======  The code from Redux Master :

Redux::setSection( $opt_name, array(
        'title'      => __( 'Checkbox', 'redux-framework-demo' ),
        'id'         => 'basic-checkbox',
        'subsection' => true,
        'desc'       => __( 'For full documentation on this field, visit: ', 'redux-framework-demo' ) . '<a href="http://docs.reduxframework.com/core/fields/checkbox/" target="_blank">http://docs.reduxframework.com/core/fields/checkbox/</a>',
        'fields'     => array(...
