Why not ask 'em? Could just be old and new stock with a price difference.
Rather odd pricing. You can used heat resistant flex in place of standard flex but not the other way around. Usually the heat resistant is more expensve. It must be new stock of the standard flex and copper prices have risen.

Cos its Sunday :-)
The heat resistant flex sounds something like the 16 amp one that is intended for use with immersion heaters. In my experience that was rather less flexible than the outwardly similar 16 amp flex that wasn't advertised as heat resistant.
If you needed that greater flexibility, the heat resistant one wouldn't be the one to go for.
Or use butyl which is more flexible than either. At a price, of course.
