Isn't the Industrial the rarest Model M.

Rarest?  I doubt it.  Industrial SSK is more rare.  True collectors probably assign all kinds of different values to the various features that are found on the M

What's the advantage of these over a typical Model M?  Besides the cool color scheme.

That's what I was wondering too.  The chromish color does look pretty cool, but the price on these really sky rockets in comparison to a standard model M

The square label industrials might be more rare than an industrial SSK. Even if not, it's quite a find.
