Investors & landlords

I asked two scenarios for future tax planning. I would like to know whether is any DIFFERENCE between these two scenarios for proration of maximum exclusion of capital gain from sell my primary residence house:

 

1. I bought the house, and rented the whole house out for two years, then lived in there for six years before I sell the house.

 

2. I bought the house, and rented two bedrooms out but still lived in it for two years. Then the tenants moved out, I lived in the house for six years before I sell the house.
