So...$59+$99 = $158. And that's for only a little bit of run time, you need MULTIPLE batteries to truly reap the rewards of a system like this. Or to buy an extension cord (not included) so you can plug it into an AC outlet.
Anyone who already has invested many hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars in this RIGID system probably isn't going to notice or really deeply care about a mere $20 savings on a personal comfort item like a fan. They would have bought one already.
Oh, also, there is a significant difference in build quality between tools with built in batteries vs tools like ridgid, ryobi, dewalt etc. To bring the price down to reasonable the non changable battery tools have cut lots of corners and are built much less durable. I have ryobi, ridgid, dewalt, makita, kobalt, etc tools from over 10 years ago they are still going great. None of my other devices that have built in batteries even still work from 10 years ago. Either the tool itself or the battery has died and not being replaceable, the whole thing gets junked. While the replaceable batteries tools.... well, even some batteries are still working purchased 10 years ago and are still in the loop.
So...$59+$99 = $158

Who wants a cord exiting from the front of the fan. Know of any other fans that have a cord coming from the front?
The older model also has a variable-speed control, not just the 6-speed in the newer model.
475 CFM vs 670 CFM for the newer model, a plus for the new model.
240° rotation vs only 210° rotation in the newer model. More versatility.
Newer fan is quieter, but only by 3dB.

These aren't meant to be permanent fans in your home. They're for use on the go (with batteries you already own for your power tools) or jobsite (where you're surrounded by batteries) at a premium cost for the flexibility. The size and output aren't the selling point - the convenience and portability is.
If you're just sitting at your desk all day, go off and buy 4 Honeywell fans and call it a day.
