The April one looks like a tiny revision of the February one.
I believe the HP utility will just update it when needed?

You should probably wait for someone that has owned an HP for further details.
The fact that the April BIOS says rev A, is pretty much a dead giveaway though. :-)

What HP laptop? Sometimes those tiny updates fix critical issues introduced by a bad BIOS update.
For example BIOS update for my mobo 1.3.0.1b caused TSME to be disabled, 1.3.0.1b Patch A fixed it.
