In all likelihood, just the labels are different. Probably made in China which means you should be an experienced mechanic for all the problems that will crop up.

One model may be made to look like a sport model, the other more of a utility. Not positive on this, but they don't spend a lot of money on changing the machines when it's cheaper to change the plastic.
