Good question?!?!?!? Curious about that. They are both same warranty and same HP rating, so wonder what the strength difference might be on the SEI if anything.

Nothing special about those and wouldn't be that hard to find another. If you are thinking of buying it you better find out what gear ratio it is.

Picklejim, are you positive the counter rotating is done in the lower?
