I don't think there is a difference. Once Naturalized you have the same priviliges and duties as British through birth. This is not like the US where the president has to be American from birth.

One difference though, although more theoretical than practicle, your citizenship may be withdrawn if naturalization obtained by deception while this is not possible for British through birth

also,

The grandchildren of a UK citizen born in the UK are entitled to an ancestry visa - whereas the grandchildren of UK citizens born outside the UK do not have this right.

Of course, in many cases the grandchildren of UK citizens will be UK citizens anyway.
