Looks like the ER is front focal reticle, more money.

Front focal? is it worth the extra cash?

Yep, the ER/T models are all Front Focal and have a slightly different upgraded, wavelength-specific coating on the glass to optimize low wavetlength light transmission and are matched with glass indicies to maximize colors in the blue/violet spectrum. So, between the FFP and the coating - definately a bit more money. Otherwise, just about all other features are the same.
