Prince Muhammad ibn Nayef ibn Abdulaziz, nephew of King Salman, is being replaced as heir to the throne of KSA by Muhammad ibn Salman ibd Abdulaziz, son of King Salman. This is a potential consolidation of power by Salman into his own line. Currently, any male direct descendant of Abdulaziz ibn Saud is eligible to the throne...Salman seems to be trying to elevate his own children over the rest of the thousands-strong extended family.

Any meaningful political difference between the two? I assume not.

Meaningful difference in terms of ideology? None seems readily apparent.

Only difference is if this really does turn into a sign that Salman is freezing his thousands and thousands of nephews out of real power in favor of his kids.
