Is there any mechanical or physical difference between this and the FNX45 FDE other than the mag baseplate and color differences? Appear identical with same 15+1 and barrel lengths....wondering why this is cheaper?

Hi Ronald and welcome. Thos are the only differences. The price difference is due to number of each in stock. Since Buds prices are tied to stock levels, same or similar higher stock models will be lower priced and vice versa. Cheers and stay safe!

you covered the differences. as far as price buds prices are set by the computer and you can sometimes get vastly different prices on the same basic gun From Buds "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather 
we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of 
each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day."

Hi Ronald, if you are talking about this one https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/126667/fn+herstal+66-100866+fn+herstalx+tactical+.45+acp+5.30+15+1+flat+dark+earth+flat+dark+earth+interchangeable+backstrap+grip+with ,
It costs more because it comes with a Vortex Viper Red Dot Sight. 
Stay safe & have a great day!
