Is that a function of the mechanics (like the provenenergy one), or an
automated response to high wind conditions?

They look to be a bit bigger (2.5m diameter, vs 1.75m), but perhaps
marginally quieter (35dbA at 5m/s, vs 40-45 @ 6m/s).

You can't argue with the price differential though. It'll be interesting
to see how many of these start appearing on houses. Could cause some
entertaining signal problems with satellite dishes :-)
