Oly Infinity objectives question

Anybody have any idea why this infinity Olympus objective
U2B530 UPLFLN40XO UPLAN FLUORITE 40X/1.30, WD 0.2mm

is twice the price of this one?
UB768R UAPO40XOI3/340 UAPO 40X/1.35-.65 OIL 340nm OBJECTIVE w/IRIS,
WD 0.10mm

and the FL does not have an iris and if FL rather than standard
PlanAPO.

Oly does not seem to offer a high image quality oil objective at 40X
like Zeiss does. There does not seem to be any objectives that will
do high NA and double oil.
