Basically,
2780 has a less powerful brushless motor, 8500 RPM, and takes up to a 5" wheel.
2981 has a more powerful brushless motor, 9,000 RPM, and takes up to a 6" wheel.

You can get either 27xx or 29xx model with either paddle switch or slide switch.
The grinders that end in 80 have a paddle switch.
The grinders that end in 81 have a slide switch.

Depends if you need the grinder, bare tool it retails for 179 so for an extra 50 bucks you're getting a 12.0 and a rapid. Normally retails for 249.

Obviously we're all about that slickdeal life and no one pays full retail, so you're basically getting a fuel grinder for free(brushless).

It does have a paddle and not a switch so that's a deal breaker for some. Me, I'm quite fond of my fingers so a paddle seems safer.

I know a few have mentioned flipping the grinder for 150 but I wouldn't count on getting that, if new sells for 179. But hey, get 130 for it and it brings the battery down to 100 bucks, that's smoking. Although in my experience I always plan on flipping tools but then end up keeping it for a "spare".

So to recap, if you need a 12.0 get this deal, if you need a grinder, get this deal and if you need both (say it with me) Get this deal!

If they do I'll just cancel, I talked to a friend who used to work at our local store, He said he thinks they will honor it without a problem. He says the promo is usually handled by Milwaukee and the coupon is Northern Tool promotion.

I already have the grinder so I may sell it (e-bay sold price is $125-$175) So I can probaby sell if for $150 locally, Makes the battery a very good deal.

This deal broke through every excuse I had for not getting a cordless M18 grinder (already invested in M12 line). Hell of a find OP.
