This one uses a Li-ion battery (AFAIK), has more voltage options, has more "juice", has more attachment options included and it seems to be a bit smaller too.
So, it isn't really just an expensive version it's a better version. The cost of rechargeable batteries need to be factored in that price too :)
it seems to come with cheap rechargeable batteries (1100mAh). It doesn't come with one voltage option: 9V, but I dunno which devices would need that, personally.
I regard removable rechargeables as better than an internal Li-Ion. When the internal batt dies thru too many charge cycles (500ish), what then? Charger for the scrapheap. At least this will charge AAs which are removable, and you can even use the AAs for whatever you want if need be rather than just use them as an internal embedded batt.

I havent tried either of these (yet), just relaying what was relayed to me here:
