Also, technically I don't have to "pick one", I can purchase all the models suggested and decide which one I like

Sure but thats a waste of time trying all the cheap units, if the total adds up to one of the higher quality ones.

There are some new Handskit T12 based units: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804727070854.html
But they are large, more for through hole or 0805+.

Any idea why Aliexpress has the Yihua 938D fir almost half of Amazon?

Is it a cheaper version or just because it’s direct from China?

Because direct.
Amazon takes a large cut, and their price may include various taxes as well.
