Bill is relatively new on the tank scene, but has really been active here, and proactive in getting as much as he can for us. To me that is DEFINITELY worth a small additional cost. Besides, a company like Banana is unlikely to get down to the "nitty gritty" like Bill has, with Impact metal tracks for instance. Giving Bill business ensures that our options continue to grow in regards to available, fair priced products. Not to mention his interaction with customers.

As to super edition, heck yes it's worth it. I just got started in tanks not long ago, but for some reason have been bitten by the metal bug. Would like an entirely metal suspension setup for my next tank, the HL StuG, and plan to get it all once Bill is able to get his hands on some. If needed, he also had some pretty good prices on NiMh 7.2V batteries, but I'm not sure if he is still selling them, I don't see them listed. Might be worth asking, if you need one. The stock batteries are not that good, and neither is the charger. Bill told me he'd pull those if I didn't want them (I asked). Figure there is no reason for me to pay for shipping of some parts I'm never going to use. At least they will get to someone who might.

Some actual HL Tiger owners might chime in, but my understanding is that some have metal reinforced road wheel suspension mounting systems, and I wonder if the difference in price is based on whether or not they have that.
