Two very different animals. This Silvertone is built along the lines of a Harmony H78, which has a much more solid build than a Rocket. The Rockets (an H59 would be the closest comparison, here) also had a different layout of controls and a more limited set of options in terms of pickup configurations. They've got that similar Redburst finish, the same single cutaway, and the same DeArmond pickups, but what you can get out of the pickups is different, and the build quality is night and day different.
I have the Truetone version without the Bigsby, but it has pickup poles. It plays and sounds beautiful.
Similar to my Harmony Rocket

Great demo of a fine sounding and looking guitar
