Nope, the results are identical. I just shortened the code for ya!

Shaved off another byte:
#macro _(j,M)#while(j<M)cylinder{z*5y+5*z.1rotate 360/M*j*z pigment{rgb 2
*(3+z)/sqrt(j)}}#local j=j+1;#end#end#local i=0;#local N=20;_(1N)#while
(i<N)union{_(1N)translate y*2rotate 360/N*i*z}#local i=i+1;#end//jim
