the deal is that one is a replica and can be bought for 99 bucks vs the real deal for 900 bucks and yes you can tell the difference.

There is a small difference in the lettering on the cover. The underside of the covers look different as well. There is a lot of fake Mugen stuff out there... Mugen does not copyright their stuff so it is not illegal to copy it as long as there are some differeces in the parts... no matter how small.
Here are the covers side by side:

99 vs 900

Not a hard choice to make.
