I generally dislike this sort of discussion, I believe it gives too much credence to the mechanical reproduction of music (notice, I said "mechanical reproduction" and not "composition").
I have my doubts as to which one is really Bach, I have found a few errors of voice leading in one example, not present in the other.
So either we are faced with one of those rare, and strange, Bach examples with the twisted voice-leading errors done on purpose, or whoever programmed the computer did not do a good enough job.
One sounds like a choral arrangement, while the other sounds like someone who doesn't really know what a choral is supposed to be.
Again, it could be one of those really obscure Bach pieces, or something taken completely out of context.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
