SRAM Force 1 vs. Force CX1

Am I missing something here or is the Force 1 about £100 more expensive than the Force CX1, with the only difference being a longer cage?

Force 1 - https://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;product=134210;menu=1000,4,26;mid...

Force CX1 - https://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;product=95203;menu=1000,4,26;mid=...

Is there another difference that I'm missing? Obviously the longer cage means it can accomodate a wider range in the cassette.

The only diferences between the two is that Force 1 comes with a 50t chainring, longer cage rear mech and a 10-42 cassette

 

Also Force cx1 uses 140mm rotors, Force 1 uses 160mm rotors

 

Force cx1 uses a 11-25 cassette which fits any shimano 11 speed free hub, Force 1 uses a 10-42 cassette so only fits sram's xd driver

With three different browsers clicking on Force CX1 on the SRAM web page it takes you to Force1. I stand corrected, but it appears they're both the same with CX1 being branded for cross users. Even the CX1 crank arms has FORCE on it, no CX1 FORCE.
