API Master Test kit for Brackish tank

I decided to get an API Master test kit (my old kits were not very precise).

API has a Master Kit for Saltwater and for Reefs.

What is the difference between these two kits? Would the regular saltwater be better choice for testing a brackish tank?


*I don't know whether to post this under brackish fish or saltwater equipment....

I did search, which taught me that I need some version of a saltwater test kit, but my question specifically concerned the difference between the saltwater and the reef test. They cost different prices at my store and if there's no real difference, I'd rather go with the cheaper.
