Edit: that backup battery actually connects to the back of the opener. It's not what's pictured. It's shaped to the size of the opener and looks like a part of it. Very sleek. The picture shows what looks like an alarm battery and mine did not come with that.
Also make sure to read how to program the open and close limit or you'll think you installed it wrong as it will only move a foot or two before stopping, or if it's to close the the ground, it could actually damage the motor so start halfway open at least. If you hold the up button too much it will also damage the motor, you can let go of the button and hit it again to fine tune.

Right, but it's essentially the same model. A few months ago, this exact model went on sale at Costco and Amazon followed suit and reduced their price as well. Here's the deal from back then with both the Amazon and Costco deal listed: https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/565256

Same or lower price in store at Costco?
From the forums that I'm reading, it really seems like the build quality is pretty equal with either brand, however, it really boils down to how well the install is done.
They do. Mine had them earlier this week. They were not marked down yet as the sale started today. YMMV, but you can check your store.
Some do, I've seen it in the last time they were on sale in store
