Default grout-only sealant versus tile-and-grout sealant?

I found two types of grout sealants:
grout sealant
grout-and-tile sealant

Has anyone any experience with the 2nd kind? It sounds like it would be
easier to apply -- just brush the thing on the entire surface. No need to
paint along the grout line and clean the tiles.

Does it have any drawbacks? Does it make the tiles hazzy? Any help would be
appreciated.

Glazed tile can't be sealed. Therefore the sealer will dry on top
leaving a residue. However you can brush either sealer into the joints
and wipe off the edges of the tile with a clean cloth. It's a
relatively simple task. You would have been done by now had you spent
the time working rather than playing around in a usenet group ;o)

Why not just use the aerosol version of grout sealer?
It works great for me anyway and is much easier to apply.
