The last time I checked on this (several months ago) the difference was that
the cheap model comes without the SoundEdit package, and is basically intended
to provide the functionality of the built-in microphone on the newer Macs.  The
expensive package includes all of the editing software.  Also, the pictures of
the cheaper model show no plug-in ports on the microphone/digitizer unit.  I
can't confirm this since we don't have that model.
