Well it is a marketing thing.------There is nothing special about the powerhead.------But the midsection and lower unit are older design items.-------Perhaps these motors were built / marketed to clear out existing inventory.----Nothing wrong with that either.
As mentioned, not much of a differrence. The 115 HP had a 112spl counterpart, 90-88spl, 50-48spl, 30-28spl. The spl would lack a few features of the main model, oil infection, T&T, and maybe other things depending year and HP, but there was no hard rule to the differences. It was marketed at a slightly lower price point.
Just a gimmick to keep you from escaping and heading down the street to the Yamaha dealer. Similar motors were designed and sold as "Commercial" models.
