RAX48 Router

I'm trying to find more information on the RAX48 — Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream AX5200 WiFi 6 Router that is currently on sale at Best Buy. Is this a stripped down version of the RAX50 made for Best Buy? Looking at the specs, they look almost identical, can you let me know if there are any differences in these models? I consider upgrading my current Netgear R6900

    The RAX48 is the RAX50 but the 2.4ghz max speed is reduced from 600mbps to 460Mbps
    256QAM vs 1024QAM

    The firmware appears to be nearly identical just that 1 tiny difference.

    Hope this helps.
