nutritional difference probably relates to the quality of the organic eggs...
following article compares free range and conventional but does not address organic:

"...The objective of the present study was to compare the chemical composition of free-range eggs
obtained from a small family farm in rural NS to that of conventionally-farmed eggs purchased from a
local grocery store.

...Notably, the polyunsaturated linoleic acid (C18:2n-6) was higher (P = 0.001) in the free-range eggs
(45.6%) compared to (40.8%) the conventionally-farmed eggs.

The cholesterol content of egg yolks was lower in free-range eggs (253.4 ± 0.01 mg/extra-large yolk
or 14 mg cholesterol/g of yolk) vs. for conventionally-farmed eggs (263 ± 0.7 mg/extra-large yolk or 15.4
mg cholesterol/g of yolk), respectively.

In terms of protein nutrition, free-range eggs may be a suitable alternative to conventionally-farmed eggs,
moreover, the lower cholesterol content may be a favourable attribute for Canadian consumers who wish
to purchase local free-range eggs."

my bias is to eat organic whenever possible...
granola and all.
