i assume the more expensive one is considered "better" but can anyone explain why?

I see one has UTQG of 140 AA and the other 340 AA :O

I replaced the RE050 with 760's on my S2000 before and there is definitely a difference. If you are just DD'ing the car and not really planning on auto-crossing or driving fairly aggressively(canyon carving) and more worried about tire wear the 760 is a decent tire; but from my experience the 760s feel greasy when you get near the grip limit on the tires and are not as predictable and forgiving as the RE050.
