Is There a Difference Between EcoHitch and etrailer Hitch for 2022 Honda CR-V Touring

Question:

I have a 2022 CR-V Hybrid Touring, and I see these two parts frequently listed as compatible. One is twice the price of the other, yet they seem to have the same specs. Why is this? Can an expert please explain the difference between these parts?

The price difference is pretty staggering between the EcoHitch part # 306-X7345 and the etrailer part # e98848 and considering there really isn't a big advantage one has over the other the choice seems to be pretty easy to go with the etrailer hitch. The only thing EcoHitch has going for it that is different is that the metal of the hitch is made from recycled steel and aluminum.
