Collectors alike, what's the difference?

I was watching some videos on Malmsteen and John 5's individual guitar collection.
Malmsteen collects Stratocasters...
while John 5 loves to collect Telecasters. 
They are both collectors, but apart from the fact mentioned above, what is another difference?
In my opinion, John 5 takes real care of his collection (by placing them in cases and arranging them neatly in his collection room).
Malmsteen just leaves his collections lying on the floor. Since he can afford so many Stratocasters, I wonder if a guitar stand costs a lot to him.

food for thought:

1. do you think Malmsteen has a neatly placed Strat collection he did not disclose?

2. do you think John 5 can afford as many Fenders as Malmsteen but still choose to keep the things the way he wants them?

Oh, I never thought of things tat much. XD But it is true. There may be other collections Malmsteen didn't show.
Well, at least John 5 neatly arrange them so that it is presentable. XD.

But as guitarists, I still respect both of them equally. :)
