While doing a search on the web, I found the same model (really cheap)
but
wired for 280V, instead of the 230 V load that my wiring is supplies.
Now, I was thinking of buying the cheap 280V model and installing it
instead. *Aside from rotating at a different speed and
maybe some power inefficiencies, are there any other drawbacks of
using the 280V model

I'd be suspicious that the 280V was a misreading somehow of 230V.
