There are certain models on some products (tires) that are specifically for sales at certain stores but if the model number/part number are the same then the quality will be the same. Plumbers buy at a contractor's price and then charge you the retail price and pocket the difference in addition to the labor etc. Not necessarily a bad thing but they should not hide it either.
