Default RE: Difference between "6V" and "7.2V" speed 400 motors

I plan on using it in a glider, so I think a geared setup would work best. I'm still not quite sure on the reason for the different classification. Would the 6V motor make more power for a specified voltage than the 7.2V? Which would draw more current in order to make a the same amount of power in a geared setup? I've only messed around with glow power so far, so I'm pretty dumb when it comes to electrics. I figure I'll just jump in with something inexpensive and learn as I go. Thanks again for the help.
