Der Unterschied ist vor allem grammatisch. statt = Präposition (meist mit Genitiv): Ich nehme statt Kaffee lieber Tee. Statt des Kaffees nehme ich lieber Tee. stattdessen = Adverb: Ich habe stattdessen Tee genommen. Bei "instead of" und "instead" gibt es denselben grammatischen Unterschied.

stattdessen = ganz im Gegenteil; instead of that 反而 anstatt = 前置词 instead of 而不是
