Would one of them NOT be the G0 stepping?

they look exactly the same to me, but the cheaper one is sold out, and will probably remain sold out. you will probably have to order the more expensive one.

I would call them up and see what the deal is. If they are in fact the exact same thing I don't see why you couldn't get it for the same (cheaper) price.

They look the same to me as well.


Hold on I do see a difference. Ones cheaper :)

They have differnet box numbers. I don't understand if these have relevance to batch numbers or what

one is "BX80557E6550"

zip zoom fly does that a lot too. they'll have many listings for the same thing, some much cheaper than the others, but they are never "in stock". just the more expensive ones.

I wonder if that could be considered false advertising, but it makes marketing sense. List more of the same items for cheaper to show up in search engines, people go to the site and look around, buy other things.

Batch numbers are the same, the last SLA9X on the second one is the s-spec code.
