One thing is 100% sure here. The shape of the pasta is different in each box.

Barilla though is going to claim that the Collezione is crafted using traditional Italian bronze plates.

I would say even the regular plain blue box one is made the same way though.

The price though for the Collezione is like 1 buck more a box and you get 4oz less of pasta.

The ingredients for both pastas are like the same. I say you are just getting hosed on price.
