Ace Hardware lists this mower for $630 but gives $30 discount for Ace Rewards members (free signup), which brings the price down to $600 (before tax), which is $50 cheaper than Home Depot $650 before tax list price.
This is the only Ego model where I found such price discrepancy.
The difference between this and Ego LM2102SP: LM2135SP is the "select cut" model which is 2-blade one - two blades inside the mower, one of those is switchable between mulching and bagging. So, it should have a better cut at the expense of slower speeds, but LM2135SP tries to compensate for that with brushless motor (not in LM2102SP) which should be tad more efficient and last longer.
FWIW LM2135SP is
Wirecutter's pick [nytimes.com] as of now for battery-powered mowers. It's also among the recommended ones by Consumer Reports', although CR more or less recommends all 3 Ego's self-propelled and neither CR or Wirecutter tested Makita's newest models yet (their 21" self-propelled equivalent XML08PT1 looks like a tank but it costs $850).

Apple to orange comparison. Similar self propelled model with dual battery (since this one has a 7.5A battery) from Green works is at the same price range.
This deal has been around at ACE for weeks. Not worth to post it as it was the same price at ACME and HD at that time where do not need a reward membership. Now the price at HD is back to $650 but out of stock at most stores. I could get it for $534 or less after rebate. I could even save 15% more on top of that using gift card deals.

Get the Toro 22" 60V Recycler self-propelled electric for about $300 at some Home Depot stores on closeout. It's excellent and half the price.
It is not a bad price, just not a slick deal. I have my discounted HD giftcards ready and may get one for less than $500 after rebate when it is back in stock at HD.

11% matching rebate from HD in the midwest wherever it has a Menard's in the area.
I'm really surprised to see so few sales and deals after retail has been hit so hard. It's like they're waiting for the demand to come surging back, with no sign of that on the horizon. In Ego's case, their biggest B&M dealer, Home Depot, is really steering customers to Ryobi instead, and it seems most stores are not even putting the new models out until last year's models are sold- which may take a long time in this market. If they get serious about cutting the price I'll consider it, but that does NOT mean $50 off of $650.
I can wait a long time- better value alternatives may well come up first.
