They are similar in scope with both providing a variety of workouts around selected focus (athlete type). However, Continuous is closer to recommendations you would get in Peak phase (see related link below).
One notable difference is the ATP section of the Training tab changes from this in Continuous mode –
To this with a TED –
With the TED you can drag the bar and see changes in hours and focus as you progress to your TED.
With Continuous the ATP bar will show color coded changes related to IR which is one way Xert allows you to perform training blocks while continuously training.
With your TED date set you are 30 days out from Base phase when recommendations will switch to mostly endurance focus. With Xert’s hybrid polarized approach you’ll get some “hard” endurance workouts recommended (into SS territory), but you can bend Xert to your will. If you prefer more LI you can do so by using Load More or Filter and being selective about your choices (mostly blue = LI below LTP). Or outdoors stay mostly below your LTP.
Since you are in Pre-base for a while, I suggest you experiment with various settings and watch what happens to recommendations and advice as you do. You can always switch back.
Also, since you are riding outdoors take a look at activity details and note how Xert is quantifying and classifying your outdoor rides. Look at Focus and Specificity above the map, plus the MPA and difficulty graphs on the chart. You don’t need to understand everything yet 
but XATA is monitoring the strain ratio and XSS points as it affects your progress. At some point you may decide to incorporate “free ride to focus” into your outdoor rides. but that is another topic.
