WPF: ControlTemplate vs Style that Changes Template

Inside App.xaml I may have:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="roundButton">
  <Setter Property="Template">
     <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate Target="{x:Type Button}">
            bla bla bla...
        </ControlTemplate>
     </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>

vs. just going

<ControlTemplate Target="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="roundButton">
    bla bla bla...
</ControlTemplate>

I'm confused, which should I use / what's the difference?

Using the Style you could also change other values of the button at the same time. Using the ControlTemplate you can only change the template. So which is appropriate?
