Allow me to spread some knowledge then.
C-Lab was in the Music business and made a lot of software for Atari. (In fact even a MIDI-sequencer for the C64) and they also did some music-related hardware (MIDI interfaces, Audio Synchronizers etc).
Basically, the Atari Falcon was a good platform for their hardware and software so when Atari gave up on the Falcon, C-Lab got a license to manufacture the Falcon and these variants are known as C-Lab Falcon Mk I, MkII.
The "dilemma" for collectors then (and the reason for my OP), would be if you want the original Atari version or the C-Lab version which is a licensed "clone" but even rarer.
