Okay, I found both ranges on Lowes site, and found that catalog on the
Frigidaire site. There are several differences, and I suspect they are charging
a pretty steep price for those features. Maybe the features just aren't worth
the money to you.

Some of the differences a
- Maxx Clean
- Vari-Broil
- EvenCook3 Convection System
- Sabbath Mode

There's probably more than just these I see. I think it's just the Frigidaire
feels they can get a lot more money for those features. I had a similar thing
with an Amana dishwasher I bought last year. The Maytag and the Amana were the
same in all the major areas, and used the exact same mechanical components. But
the Maytag had fancier rack features, using different colors for these pieces.
It also had more cycle options. I'm sure these things didn't cost Maytag more
than $25 extra, but they certainly charged a whole lot more (MSRP to MSRP).
Maytag and Amana are the same company, just different brand names, like Ford and
Mercury.
