He may be referring to the BK7 mirror which has better thermal properties than the plate glass. More important in very cold climates. What you really want is the crayford focuser which comes with that model. Maybe they dont have it in stock and are trying to sell you the cheaper model.
As for viewing planets, the scope should do a fine job of it with the right eyepieces and when collimated.
You could also try Bintel who sell the same scope for a slightly higher price , but it supposedly comes already checked, centre-spotted and collimated for you.
