Antec 300 "Illusion" at Newegg

Trying to figure out what's different between Newegg's Antec 300 case and the regular Antec 300 case, and not figuring out anything.

Although, in the pictures, it appears to have two blue LED fans in the front, and the stock Antec 300 has those as optional. Do you think that they did that just for the pictures, or does it actually come with front fans installed?
 
Under "specs"

Cooling System
80mm Fans No
120mm Fans 1 x 120mm rear fan
2 x 120mm TriCool blue LED front fans
140mm Fans 1 x 140mm blue LED top fan

So, it appears the "Illusion" version comes with 2 front fans, yes.

Also, it appears the top fan has LEDs, which the normal 300 doesn't, i don't think...
 
Normal 300 comes with a 120 in the back and 140 up top, no LEDs. Illusion has a 120 no LED in back, a blue 140mm up top and two blue 120s up front
 
Essentially you pay $15 to get two front fans with LEDs.

The cool thing about them is that they are black and opaque, so the light effect is different than with clear LED fans. The top fan is translucent, has LEDs, is a two-speed fan (unlike in the regular 300, which is a three-speed), and also has a unique look to it. Intriguing, and IMO worth it. I say this because I made the same choice about two weeks ago, and enjoy it throughly as I can whisper louder than it with all four fans on low.

EDIT: To be clear, all four fans which come with the case come installed and use 4-pin molex connectors with separate adjustable switches to control fan speed.
