Odd case pricing on whybuynew.co.uk

After finishing repairing my Akai APC40 mk. 1 yesterday, I was looking for a suitable case for it. whybuynew.co.uk sell a range of 'Gorilla' branded flight cases that are suitable for DJ equipment, at quite competitive prices compared to most other DJ flight cases I've seen.

They sell generic cases, and then they also list the same generic cases as separate items for popular equipment that the cases fit. But the pricing between these doesn't always match up, despite being exactly the same case. If you look at the screenshot below, I've circled one design of case in red and another in blue.

As you can see, the 'Small DJ controller' case and 'Ableton Push' case are both the same, and the same price at £40. But for £10 less you can pick up the same case, only sold as a 'DSLR camera' case. Similarly, you can pick up a 'Medium DJ controller' case for £55, but if you instead go for the same thing but sold as being for a specific controller model, you can save £10 and get it for £45 instead.

Personally, I'm not going to but any case at the moment (there are two I want, and both are just sold as generic ones), but am hoping eBay will do a 10-20% discount off everything again at some point, then will purchase the cases via whybuynew's eBay store.
