Difference Between Flush and Projecting Proximity Switch

[questionator]

What is the difference between a flush and projecting proximity switch?

Hoping for a short answer because so far I'm not seeing much in terms of advantages for one versus the other.

I think you just need to pull up the specs to see your answer here. The projecting proximity switches always have a greater sensing distance than the flush switches. As far as I know, that would be the only difference between flush and projecting switches.
