If anyone doesn't feel like Googling, higher CRI is better quality color, as the post above says, but it also means some increase in power (i.e. less efficient).
Proponents of the law wanted Californians to adopt LED lighting to replace incandescent and CFL but are concerned that if the lights are poor quality, people will say LEDs suck and not make the switch. They argued that this hurt adoption of CFLs when those were new and everyone had incandescent. Yes, higher LED prices will also mean less adoption, but their concern is that lower-quality lighting will hurt more.
Those against the law generally argue that CRI of 80 is good enough, and the increase in LED prices will hurt adoption more than a reduction in quality from CRI 90 -> 80 would have. For obvious reasons, lighting manufacturers generally take this position.
I have no argument either way.

In what way? They are both 2700K. Slightly less lumens. But at half the cost, not sure that it matters - provided of course that they last.
I meant aesthetically. The bulbs in the OP will be flush with the trim ring and look integrated. The ones you posted will have a gap between the bulb and the housing.
Ah yes. I actually like that.

Glad you found a product you liked. 👍 I just wanted to point out the difference.

You cannot buy LED's with a CRI below 90. These bulbs have a CRI of 80. That's why LED bulbs in CA are relatively expensive to the rest of the country.
A higher CRI gives you better quality color. I think perfect is the sun - 100; incandescents were 99.
