What's the difference between these?

I'm looking for a new fridge freezer and have narrowed it down to a type that I like the look of, but there's a few variations of the model:
  • LG GSL545NSQV
  • LG GSL545NSYV
  • LG GSL545NSYZ

The first model is, and pretty much always has been, ~£200 cheaper than the other two models, but I can't for the life of me see why and I'm worried I'm missing something. There are subtle difference between them, e.g. some have a jug in the fridge door, some have an egg shelf, one is an A++ rather than just A+, but 95% of the unit is the same apart from little gimmicky things.

Can anyone spot the £200 difference?

    One of them, needs to be plumbed in for the water and ice. IMHO this is a plus if you have plumbing reasonably close the others you fill by hand.

    Bah, I could've sworn I checked that :o. You're right, the GSL545NSQV needs to be plumbed in which is no good for me as the water source is the other side of the room.

    Thank you. :)

    Well the first one is the only plumbed in one so it doesn't need a water tank & is more convenient & is cheaper. I've got one of these, had it 10 years with no problems.
    I love the way the LG website makes non-plumbed in a plus on the page about the non-plumbed in one!
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
  • The catch is the plumbing on these models.

    Have you seen these in real life? I would advise you do... Normally these icing and water containers take a large amount of space inside the door and some of them even more.
