Difference between Vintage Port and Tawny

I've just had some Tawny Ports that I enjoyed and after looking into it more, it's my (potentially incorrect) understanding that Tawny Port is barrel aged port that made to taste like Port that's [10/20/30] years old (and is ready to drink when bottled). Does this mean that a 20-year old Vintage Port will have a similar flavor and structure profile as a 20-year Tawny Port, even thought it's produced/aged quite differently?

I'm just trying to wrap my head around this to figure out if I should buy some 40 year old Tawny Port and 40 year old Vintage Port.
