not much. see my last comment on your previous post: in cases like these, it's a matter of aesthetic preference.

I think 'a lack' is usually used when there is an adjective preceding 'lack', eg, 'there is a huge lack of support for the proposed change in policy.'
But if it's just 'lack of' then it stays that way without the article.
