The difference?
You have one string type that will always allocate 1000 Characters for every variable of the type, regardless of how many the user specifies as max. 
Ada.Strings.Bounded will allocate as many as the user specifies as max, which is 10 in the part of your example i quoted. So you would use 9990% more memory...

And again, how did you choose 1000? How do you know that will be enough for all users of your string type? Or do you copy/paste the string type every time you need a new max length?
