What's the faith based difference?

Think of it as fundamentalists vs the progressives.
The Germanic ones would kidnap or buy children so they can use their blood to make their Passover bread. Eventually the situation got so horrific there was a series of pogroms which drove the Ashkenazi eastwards, where they were welcomed with open arms by Slavic kings looking to expand their mercantile base.
The Spanish guys were a lot more sane, they said hey instead of killing Christian babies and letting their blood, we'll just use blood from our bleeding penises. A lot more sane. It didn't help them when the Inquisition rolled around several hundred years later though. In the absence of proper Ashkenazi's to destroy, the Sephardim paid the price.
