that one listed is also a G92 tranny as opposed to the standard one for 93.

http://www.f-body.org/tech/4th_gen.htm

half way down the page has the info your interested in.

also a note 93 trannys are usually cheaper then 94-97 as per the gearing and torque ratings are only to 400 in 93 and 450 in 94-97.

but as said above if you rlooking for best mileage ... 94-97 with .5 6th gears lets you run 4.10's no problem

well I don't know about your area but 94-97 T-56's are usually between 2000-2500 CAN$ but 93 go for under 1K

so it depends, 500 bucks sounds like a good deal.
