Topic: RUMBA Basic vs RUMBA Black (?)

I have an SD3 and I want to replace the sanguinololu to go to dual extruders. I have been considering Azteeg X3 and the RUMBA. I think I am going RUMBA based on documented use here and potentially the price.

Looking at the RepRapDiscount site I see I can buy the RUMBA with 6 DRV8825s for US$165. I only need 5 drivers for now. Comparing their RUMBA Basic listing and seperate 5pc set of DRV8825s listing I can spend $80 + $59 = $139. Is that really a $26 difference for one driver?

The only thing I see different in the descriptions is the number of drivers included and that the version with the drivers has the word Black in parenthesis. Is there a difference?
