Salted butter vs Light margarine
In short
For the same 100 calories you eat 14 g of salted butter or 29 g of light margarine. Both get most of their calories from fat.
More in salted butter: saturated fat (2.9×) and cholesterol. More in light margarine: vitamin A (4×), vitamin E (12×), vitamin K and vitamin D. Everything else is within 4% of a day's needs.

Where they differ
Bar length is the share of a day's needs (FDA Daily Value) in 100 calories of each. Every row uses the same scale, so a short difference in length is a small difference. Color says which food, never which is better.
