The rating in both versions is 1900MAh rated capacity, while a nominal rating of 2000MAh. I wouldn't concern yourself with ratings though, none are really that accurate. My charger indicated my eneloops right out the box at a typical milliamp-hr deviation of +/- 15%(~1700-2300).

Maha may have higher capacity, but it is slow in cycle speed.
Eneloop may have lower capacity, but it is powerful and fast.
