1. The main difference between these two constructions is ; - MAKTANSA [ -mektense ] is used more like for the purpose of comparing the actions.
If we take the same examples above ;
Konuşmaktansa iş yapmayı yeğlerim. [ Instead of talking I prefer getting on with my job ]
In the sentence above, we prefer one action to another.
=====================
2. Note that we still can use - ACAĞINA with comparisons.
Konuşacağıma iş yapmayı yeğlerim. [ Instead of talking I prefer getting on with my job]
=====================

Yes, it gives the same meaning, however I ,for some reason, would go for -acağına instead of "yerine" , it sounds more natural to me.
* it is may be because "yerine" is used more for comparing NOUNS.
Kahve yerine çayı tercih ederim. ----> I prefer tea instead of coffee.
we compare two nouns there. and naturally we can not use -mektense or -acağına since we are not comparing actions in that sentence.

Tunci, açıklaman için teşekkürler.
Rica ederim , Henry.
And one last thing, when we use -acağına form especially for the second singular person [you], it has bit harsh, telling off meaning.
Bilgisayarın başında oturacağına git yemeğini ye ! ------> Instead of sitting in front of computer, go and eat your meal !
