The second & third ones there I would stay away from for any price.
They appear to be Generation #2 Units.

I have only ever had Sam's club iterations (3 going now, all 40" on legs, and 3 that I wore out and were replaced under warranty) I bow to your expertise in this matter Bear!)

I can certainly vouch for the Gen 2 as a piece, unless you do mods.
PID was a must for this unit, which was another $160. I do like it now but I don't have anything to compare it to.
