Yeah the deal I got was crazy, the seller must have had extra stock. Definitely not a typical price.
I was eyeing the 2050P but the reviews on amazon aren't the best. I've read on there or elsewhere that the cable can get loose and lose tension over time, but I'm not sure how widespread that problem is. If you read the reviews and still feel good about it, go for it. The cable vs rod thing was just a difference I was noting, it's probably not that big of a deal.
On the other hand there's this model which has the rod but only has plastic wheels.
I just found a 2600APlus for $100! Also here. Not familiar with these retailers, but this is a good deal. I think this is normally $140 or something if I remember right. This has both the steel rod and pneumatic tires. The hopper is a bit smaller than the one I have but it's not by much. The lever is also slightly better on mine and I believe my gearbox is beefier. But this is nearly half the price of the one I have, at least at current prices.
If you watch LawnCareNut (the video I linked in my previous comment), the 2600APlus is actually the one he uses.
