Any difference between `screen -r` vs `screen -x` when attaching to an already attached session?

Looking for a command that would attach to a screen session "foo", wether
it is detached or not. It seems like `screen -x foo` would do it - it
attaches to "foo" in both cases.

But is it really the same?  Or is there any difference between `screen -x
foo` and `screen -r foo` when "foo" is detached?

Specifically, is there a reason to choose one over the other when "foo" is
detached?
