Can anyone tell me the difference between Uki Goshi and O Goshi?

UKI-Goshi

After breaking your opponents balance to his right front corner, you load him on your hip and throw him by twisting your hip to the left. Wrap your arm as far as possible around his body.

The throw differs from O-GOSHI in that you do not raise your hips or bend forward.

O Goshi will also launch your opponent higher into the air.

Yes Judo throws are beautiful but if someone trys to throw me I'm going for their back. If I don't get it, I'm sure I'll fall into a decent position.
