Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages


Can someone explain the differences in layman's terms and why is one better than the other?

Supposedly, one purported advantage of the current based phono stages is that you don't need any loading.  Some literature on the Grail SE indicates that you have options for MC loading from 40-400 ohms; however, other discussion about the same phono stage says that you don't need to adjust loading, as it's done automatically through the circuit.  Which is correct? 
Thanks.
