From p1michaud's write-up: "After some research I determined that I needed an Optima Red Top model 34R. I shopped around and was just not ready to pay $280 CDN for a 34R. The only place I could get one except for eBay was from a Canadian distributor in another province and it was just going to be a major pain to get it to my front door. I knew WalMart carried Optimas for about $160 CND. So I bought an Optima Red Top model 34/78. I chose the model 34/78 due to price and availability. This was the cheapest I could find it here."

It looks like it had to do with availability.
