[Avodah] Shehechiyanu: Tallis vs Tefillin

Another Qitzur SA question:

In 59:8: Qanahlo talis shel mitzvah ... yevareikh shehechiyanu

Not much later, 59:9: Al sefarim chadashim sheqanah eino mevareikh
shehechiyahu. Because mitzvos lav leihanos. It's actually a machloqes
acharonim, and someone who is excited about finally getting a particular
seifer and wants to make a berakhah, may.

Nu, why don't we say "mitzvos lav leihanos nitnu" on a talis (which RSG
even specifies as "shel mitzvah")?

Tir'u baTov!
