Default 2008 Lexus IS250 Outside Mirror Glass Replacement

My passenger outside mirror has a crack in it and is now turning blue (I’m assuming something with the auto-dim fluid in it). I have found a few OEM replacements and they say the glass without the memory feature is around $100-$115 and the one with memory is over $200. I figured the memory feature only moved the plate that the glass is stuck to but I may be wrong. Is there really different glass for memory or no memory?

Maybe the memory featured glass is also auto-dimming. The non-memory glass has no auto-dimming and that affects the price. Just guessing.

I have the same issue on my 06 IS350 and haven't gotten around to replacing it.
IIRC, some also have heating elements in the mirror glass that can also affect which you need.
