If they are in fact brand new drives, then always buy the least expensive.
We're not talking consumer drives from randos on eBay. If manufacture recertified, that means they were pulled out of service from enterprise datacenters and tested to be still good. I would argue that (1) that's a good thing due to bathtub curve and (2) if you're backing up, you shouldn't ever lose data anyway.
Buying two recertified 14TB drives for ~$240 is a better idea than a single one at $200 any day, because even a brand new drive can and will fail. Remember, two is one, and one is none. Mirror your data and then back it up for good measure if you can't afford to lose it.
As to your specific point, I'd have to agree with you. It's called "tacit collusion" and t's been going on for years. The pivotal point came after the "flood" when WD was allowed to buy the competition, effectively creating a US duopoly.
If anyone thinks that didn't happen with a closed door meeting and compensation paid to government/political officials, they probably think the tooth fairy left a quarter (ooops, that would be a $20 bill in today's money) under their pillow. The US is corrupt and no law makers will do anything about it.
At best they can pretty it up a bit by calling it a "sweetheart" deal, but it's really just down right dirty and complicit corruption.
$219 for 16tb seagate externals on Amazon after coupon
They go on sale pretty often lately for this price so fret not.
