I would call rainbow resource and ask them the difference. They have always been honest with me, and have often helped me to chose the lower priced item.

 

I do know with some of the slides that I have gotten --the price difference was in the case the slides were contained --wood verse plastic. Also the brand name. The cheaper one may be made by another company put together to use for Apologia and the other one could be produced by or carry the actual Apologia name. I do not have these particular slides but ran across this very issue when buying them for Bob Jones.
