Mostly price I'd say as unless you're really picky or pushing the envelope on handling you probably won't notice too much difference if it''s set up for your weight and riding style.
Having said that my 748R has the top end, for their era, showas front and back and compared to any of the Monsters I've owned or ridden feels a bit like a magic carpet to ride.
