You can use it in the classic way, but you also have the option of programming with Python. Python SDKs are available free of charge, my recommendation is Anaconda -> https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
The only difference I see is the Graphical and Programming feature. So with the 175.- you can program.
Personal I'm completely fine with the 135.- version
Thank you very much for your comment. We will gladly forward this internally to the responsible department and hope that this will be checked promptly.
