As gpraceman noted above, one of the differences appears to be hardware. Specifically, AmScope uses handles on all of the adjustment points, and one way costs are cut is to replace those with grub screws. That's easily remedied, as he also showed.

For my money knowing what I know now, I think I'd upgrade the hardware out of the McMaster catalog, and pocket the difference for 404s. -
