On websites like Orvis they claim that fluoro line and fluoro tippet are made to different standards. That includes both measured diameter and consistency of diameter, limpness, abrasion resistance and maybe a few other things. That - they claim - is the reason for the price jump: tippet is much higher quality than just line.
But how much of that is mere marketing hype, I could not say. I do know that tests run by consumer labs do show differences among brands of tippet material, but I cannot recall them ever comparing line versus tippet material.
