“different” or "various" at the beginning of the sentence

Is it correct to start a sentence with the word "different"? for example:

Different table structures are listed below.

or should it be:

Various table structures are listed below.

Does it make any difference?

More context:

  • I would like to point out and describe similarities and differences among several tables
  • there are more than 2 tables I would like to compare
  • I am going to compare only the tables included in the list (no other tables were presented before)
  • tables have some common features but of course are not the same
