Honestly, there are differences but both are tools to get the job done. Why you use both are really up to you since it depends if your shop wants object oriented programming for maintenance and troubleshooting. I had this happen when dealing with Ada vs. C++ vs. C. The programmers didn't want to use Ada because it wasn't cool or practical. Reality was that many of them didn't know how to program in Ada but had college knowledge on C and no training on object oriented programming. Same happened when C++ became popular.
Fact is, managers may understand that the code in C++ is easier to read and maintain. There are reasons to use C++ because of the software engineering methodology and beliefs of its superioriy of C. If that real or not is up to you and the rest of the world.
