Same guy, different coat.
Whats in a name??? To some nothing, to some if you can spark some sort of sentiment youve got a sale.
Names colours etc etc. Same with cars, colour and trim level, engine options. Spoiled for choice and suckered to spend.
As for the vantage at the top, the code on the engine (cowling) gives you the manufacture date of the motor, that will be close to the year of the mower. Id say maybe late 90's
