ASUS and Acer N550 netbooks

Is the only difference in the ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM-MU17 and 1015PEM-PU17 that the PU17 has bluetooth?

The description for the 1015PEM-MU17 on Amazon says 10 hour battery life, but for the 1015PEM-PU17, it says 13 hours
Should they be the same? They both use the same processor, have 6 cell batteries, and use the SHE feature. And if you go to ASUS's website, there is only a webpage for "1015PEM", not separate ones for -MU17 and -PU17, and it states 13 hours. If they do have different battery lifes, how?


Does anyone know how the Acer Aspire One D255 with N550 would compare to the ASUS? Is the ASUS worth the extra money?
And any idea why very few places have the D255 w/ N550 for sale when it's been available since around September? Why doesn't Amazon sell it? The only place I found that I've heard of before is Provantage:

BTW, why do companies use the same model #'s for two different netbooks?
ie. The Acer Aspire One D255 comes with either the N450 or N550, and the HP Mini 5103 seems to be available with both single and dual core CPUs.
 
In general Asus' build quality is a step or two above Acer. Well worth the extra cost IMO, espacially in a laptop / netbook.
