I believe that in addition to the already stated facts about the two the main difference was that Angel island only accepted immigrants who had relatives or someone that they knew in the U.S. which is where mail-away brides came in handy, the brides could "sell themselves" to someone in the U.S. and say they were related and have them pick you up. That was another thing about Angel is that you couldn't walk out of the building you had to be picked up from someone, like the man/woman who you sold yourself to.
