I just looked at this C18 that is listed.  Its 400 vs. normal price of 500 (USD).  But when you look at the pictures on recon vs ToolNut, you see that the recon product does not have the right angle chuck.  Doesn't that negate the $100 savings and you lose 2 years of warranty?

Pretty much.

The drill listings other than the CXS/TXS (which only had two configurations: Basic and Set) are a hot mess, both on Recon as well as on Festool's website.  The images on the FUSA website don't even always match the bill of parts that are included.

Based on this PDF (page 14), SKU 576444 should include the right angle chuck. If they aren't including it, then yes, it negates any savings.

Mine arrived with the Eccentric chuck as well:

Offset, Eccentric Chuck places bit flush to the side, allows drilling/driving right into corners. Chuck rotates 360° with 16 presets. Quick-release collar will not mar adjoining surfaces.
