I'm told these don't go on sale very often, but I haven't been looking long so not sure if that's true.
Number of interesting features including items beyond just rice cooking including steaming, fermenting, congee, self-cleaning, slow cooking, bread functions, and Gaba rice function (Sprouted/germinated before cooking) and fermented bread (functions vary per model)
From my quick look selection of functions from above list + bowl type (Aluminium vs stainless), heating element type and max pressure levels (higher = faster) are the main price differences between models.
IH = induction heating, claimed to be better, more even heating around the bowl.

Other colors available in some ranges, didn't link all the variants.
Store has been linked here before, I'm assuming it's reliable.
It used to be hard to get discounts on Cuckoo but things changed when Costco starting carrying them. Can get them discounted from Bing Lee's eBay store too.
