It seems one model uses a laser for page straightening, while the
other model does not.

   "One frustration with the CZUR devices is that each one has its own application.
    So since I have three devices, I have three applications. As their product line
    grows, older devices won't get as much attention or updates to their applications.
    It would be wiser to have a single application that can detect the device and
    show the features that apply to it. Then as new features are developed, they can
    be available to the older devices. CZUR seems unlikely to adopt this, however.
    It's a bit like having a company that makes webcams and none of them are really
    compatible with the other. Each has their own software/driver. A lot of
    niche peripherals run into this problem."
