Only the colour is different, specs are the same. Colour can certainly make that much price difference, but it can also be down to supply and demand.

Bear in mind that they also used different coloured PCBs. Black is very common for PCBs, white is not so common so may cost more to manufacture.

It's an error on their site, it's supposed to be 2400Mhz, not 2.400Mhz.

 

Just pointing that out for the entertainment value.

Well, look at it this way: If your DDR4 memory is running at anything lower than 2000Mhz, you should be worried haha

It is. In Europe and most places outside the US, they switch the comma and decimal.

In general, to make it easier to read. Here, it doesn't matter.
