I would bet good money that there is absolutely no difference in the doors at all! I have been told by many that the rear wall on trailers with the patio kit is reinforced with a steel plate to support the awning. Guess what? When I installed my awning after the fact, the steel plate is there when everybody said it wouldn't be. I'm pretty sure these rumors get started by people that got suckered into paying a ton of money for the package and they want to believe that they have something superior to everybody else. RV manufacturers avoid using different parts on units of the same model at all costs.
To answer the question about what the high priced package includes, the patio package comes with the cables, cable brackets, railings & brackets and the rear awning. The awning itself is approximately 1/4 of the cost. I had no need for the annoying railings so I didn't purchase the package. I haven't gotten around to getting the cables yet, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over having a few people sit or stand on a ramp that handles a 1500 lb vehicle just fine.
