"... than stealing it for personal use ..."

As long as both instances are stealing, I have no problem. Relative badness is another debate, but I doubt we'd disagree much on that.



It's not hard to argue that only the one that involves money is theft.

Not that that argument is exactly where I would stand, but I think you're on shaky ground to call them the same crime with the difference being magnitude.
