Deeper Australian Product Guide evidence - still verify the current retailer offer and exact variant before purchase.These products already overlap on hands on, milk; the deciding difference is more likely to be their distinctive use-case signals, exact specifications, current price and retailer availability.
The observed Australian Product Guide reference-price gap across priced options is about A$30. Treat that as context rather than a live quote: retailer prices can change and must be rechecked.
None of the maintained options satisfies your non-negotiable deal-breakers, exact Australian model identity is unclear, or the evidence is too shallow for the decision you are making.
Exact model/variant, current retailer availability, current price, warranty/support terms and any specification that materially affects your use case.
