The Lawn & Garden version, at least mine anyway, is complete crap. I've had a 2.0 version for nearly a year and until just recently it's been great. I recently decided to try the Lawn & Garden to see if there was a power difference, and as luck would have it, the day I ordered it, my 2.0 broke. Basically with my 2.0, when you'd go to cock it, the cocking handle would just slam back forward, it wouldn't stay cocked or reset the trigger. I was defenseless against flies for several days, but I survived. Two days later the Lawn & Garden showed up. The first day it seemed ok, but absolutely no better, nor more powerful than the 2.0. By day two, I was getting frequent "dry" shots. Meaning you'd have the perfect shot lined up, and you'd pull the trigger just to get nothing more than a BOING sound (these have a different sound when shooting salt vs shooting nothing) with zero salt, or with very little salt coming out. The plunger that is inside the area that you load with salt goes down and loads salt as you cock it, but mine was hardly moving, or not moving at all. You can't see it or fix it when it's loaded with salt, so I'd have to dump the salt out and work the plunger back and forth, or more often than not, put water in it to free it. I was using Morton's salt, and even tried a little coarser grain sea salt, none worked. Basically, the Morton salt was getting down in side the plunger area keeping it from moving freely. My 2.0 doesn't ever do that. I would have returned it, but I had already defeated the absolutely unneeded and super aggravating auto resetting safety. I hate that "feature" with extreme prejudice. To wrap this up, I took the 2.0 and L&G apart, found the broken piece that caused the 2.0 not to stay cocked, swapped them out, and am now killing flies again with the ole 2.0. The L&G will be used for spare parts, as it was worthless as a unit.
