There is a slight difference in the center channel width between keel rollers # YR12000 and # YR12244-125EC. Otherwise they have the exact same specs. The more narrow center channel on YR12244-125EC means more rubber is used and thus would cost more. It also has a slightly larger diameter, 3-3/4 inches, compared to # YR12000 at 3-3/8 inches.
