Bootmagic Full is not as reliable as Lite, because it requires that the default layer upon startup contains, or allows access to, at least the space and B keys to get into bootloader mode. Lite, on the other hand, does not care which keys are mapped; it goes purely off of the switch matrix positions, and additionally clears the EEPROM. It's also a much simpler feature (= less code size) so I imagine we may at some point phase out Bootmagic Full, as there's not really that much need for all the extra bells and whistles it has.
