The major difference that I see is what brought the curse on and the very nature of the curse. Turin's curse was not brought on by himself but the heroic act of his father. Feanor's curse contrarily was brought on upon himself by and evil act and was given by the just in consequence of his actions. What I am saying is that by slaying the Teleri and rebelling against the Valar, Feanor brought the curse upon himself. It wasn't really a curse given to him. More of a consequence of his own actions and Mandos essentially told him what would come of his actions.
