Subject: Renaming vs assignment to constant

A poster on Stack Overflow wrote

   Now : Time renames Clock;

(using Ada.Calendar) which made me blink until I realised that it is the
equivalent of

   Now : constant Time := Clock;

GNAT generates the same code for these two forms. Is there a difference?
Which form is preferred?
