BUT - many mfgs DO have specific model numbers which are just for the
big box stores.  Now, to what degree these items differ from the 'full
price' versions is a matter of debate and variation.  It could have
the exact same significant characteristics and just be eye wash so
they can assure their other wholesale customers they don't sell the
same product to HD.  OR it could be quite different.

Clothing mfgs do the same thing with Walmart vs. say Macy's and the
like.
