Eclairs

I have made eclairs and i have made eclairs, also i have made cream puffs but what is the difference between a cream puff and an eclair? Both are made with choux pastry, so, shape is only essential difference. Every time i make a batch of choux pastry, i will pipe some round and some long. To my grand kids, don't ask if they want cream puffs or eclairs. Renee will say she wants the round ones and Alexander prefers the long ones - no name calling. To me, somehow the round ones - cream puffs are more photogenic but eclair is the ugly duckling...............
