You are right. Yumas start out needing less light, but can be acclimated to higher light levels. Ricordea flordia can take most any lighting situation.
And the spirocysts (bubbles) of yumas are more uneven in size and generally lead up onto the mouth. Also yumas only develope one mouth whereas floridas can have many mouths on a single polyp. note: Though I have never seen it personally, I would not rule out that a yuma might develope an extra mouth.
I believe the reason for yumas only needing one mouth is because of the way they multiply, leaving behind a piece of foot that grows into a new yuma, much like most corallimorpharins. Floridas on the other hand develop several mouths and multiply by splitting between the mouths-some other corallimorpharians do also, namely what are known as tonga mushrooms.

I have both, but I prefer yumas because they come in so many different colors and are just stunning. Here are some pictures of mine.
