I just bought a new GW mower from Amazon and it's different than the picture on Amazon and the recent customer pictures in reviews

The main difference, aside from some color differences and body shape is that thne Amazon listing pictures say greenworks pro all over it, and mine does not - even my grass catcher bag just says greenworks. The batteries look different than the pictures (The ones in the Amazon pictures look like my old GW batteries, the ones I received look like a newer design but they are interchangeable).

I scoured the machine and the packaging/shipping labels and everything has the right model number. A tiny shipping label on the box says greenworks pro, as does the dual-battery charger

It seems to work fine and the price was righ so I reeeeeally don't want to return it unless there is some meaningful difference between what I received and what was listed. Is there anything to be concerned about here, or should I just chill?

I have a capital gain in 2026 that may push me over the limit for deducting a traditional IRA contribution. Traditional would be my preference for this year's contribution, but there's a 50-50 chance I would have to re-characterize it to a Roth as my income will be *very* close to the limit this year, probably won't know till the end of the year.

I'm doing some very aggressive 457 payroll contributions to push my income down but I'm losing head of household status so it will be a little bit of a crapshoot. Anyway, since it will be very close, I'd like to put money in an IRA ASAP to minimize taxable interest. I'm thinking about putting in a traditional and re characterizing to a Roth if necessary, but I could do it the other way around if that's easier at tax time.

Also, would there be any advantage to making a dedicated account for this years IRA contribution in the event of a re-characterization, or is it just as easy to put the money in an existing account (either Roth or trad)?

Thanks!

Mower MO60L424 model confusion, and GreenWorks vs GreenWorks Pro?

IRA: Is it easier to recharacterize from Roth to traditional or vice versa?
