Xyron 900 Cheap at Office Max?

I was at Office Max today and bought the gold and copper Sharpies.  I'd
heard talk of them not working well, but both worked fine when I checked
them out.

However the interesting thing was that I saw a large Manco Product
laminator that said it was produced by Xyron Inc.  It looks exactly like
the 900 (except that it is transparent), and it looks like it would take
regular Xyron 900 cartridges even though it only came with the
laminating cartridge.  It was only $39.  
   Anyone know if it's the same as the Xyron 900?

At $39, it is much cheaper than the $119 retail price of the other.
It's even $20 cheaper than using the 50% coupon.
