There are huge differences between the various Banebots motors, to say nothing of the fact that the image you've included isn't actually of a motor, but rather a motor-gearbox assembly. They all have different power outputs (the 775 being the most powerful and the 395 being the weakest), but given the wide range of options they offer in comparison to FPs, they're a great option to consider.

The window motor is also actually a motor-gearbox assembly; the metal housing on the end is the actual motor, and the plastic casing a gearbox that includes a worm screw and locking pins that prevent backdrive.

I'd recommend reading through Mabuchi's motor guide to get a better understanding of how exactly motors work, which in turn will allow you to familiarize yourself with the various motors more easily.
