For me, the main differences between the melodeon/button accordeon are these: * melodeons are diatonic & those in D/G & G/C have the same fingering systems for playing. * button accordeons are chromatic & those in B/C, B/C/C# have a differing fingering system of playing compared to melodeons. I have a D/G melodeon & a B/C button accordeon. To play a tune in D major on melodeon, the scale is arranged with bottom D on the push, whereas on button accordeon it's on the pull.
