I hope I am not asking too much vs I am sorry if I am asking too much

Both sentences are correct, but they express different ideas. 'I hope I am not asking too much' expresses a desire for not being burdensome, while 'I am sorry if I am asking too much' acknowledges the possibility of being burdensome and apologizes for it.
