What is the performance or difference between the two functions. (Or are they the same)

public Entity getEntityById(long Id)
{
    Entity entity = new Entity();
    if (!entity.FetchUsingPK(Id) ) 
    {   
    entity = null;
    }
    return entity
}

AND

public Entity getEntityById(long Id)
{
    Entity entity = new Entity(Id);
    if (entity.IsNew ) 
    {   
    entity = null;
    }
    return entity
}

Yes they're the same. FetchUsingPK is called frm the constructor in 2).

Thanks. I was pretty sure that was going to be the answer. (Especialy when I went throught the code after posting the question). So basically whether to user form 1 or form 2 is a matter of style.
