Hi Paul,

I believe it's the same dolly, but you need to call Jansen and find out the
institutional/wholesale price before you compare.

I've installed a few of them and I think they're great, and I've always used
a tilter.  (Let me know if you want pictures.)  Some people don't like them
because the dollies are screwed to the bottom board, but I haven't found it
to be a problem, weight distribution-wise.
