#10179 was designed by Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and released in 2007.
#75192 used the chassis (for the most part) of #10179 and concentrated more on upgrading its aesthetics - designed by Hans Burkhard Schlömer. Because of this, it is generally referred to as a ‘second release’, or ‘upgraded’ version.
I’m not sure which one I prefer to be honest. The new version is obviously finished to a higher level of detail, but I think I prefer the tunnel behind the cockpit on the original and given its 13 years old, it still remains an absolutely engineering masterpiece.
There a pretty good interview here. https://brickset.com/article/31111/interview-with-hans-burkhard-schl%C3%B6mer-designer-of-75192-millennium-falcon
