Jan 14 at 14:02 comment added FlatterMann Somebody correct me here, but there is no net force on a magnetic material (para-, dia-, ferromagnet or superconductor) in a homogenous field. There would be a net torque depending on the symmetry of the magnetic body and its orientation in the field. A force would only occur in a non-uniform field and it would be proportional to the field gradient, if I am not mistaken. So, no, the answer is that there is no difference in your scenario because the force is always zero, but that's a pathological case. It seems to me that you should modify the question using a gradient field.
