Cisco 2900 vs 2950

[brockj]

I am just wondering what the difference between the two are? I hate to do the CCNA thing, but would it make a huge difference for a home lab? I would not make a big deal out of it, but there is a considerable price difference between the two, and am just wondering if it is worth the extra money.

Is the former a 2900XL series? Look in the back for the exact model number.
If you ask Spidey about 2900XL, he'll tell you 100 reasons why you shouldn't get it.

The main difference you'll see from CCNA perspective is that even though both run IOS, the one on 2900XL doesn't support as many features as the 2950.
Get a 2950.
