The cheaper of the two. Being as that there is zero mechanical difference between the two, there is no reason whatsoever to pay extra for the rollmark. Although, at one time that was sort of "en vogue" to do so.

I would not pay more for it. I happen to have one of the restricted marked LMT lowers; it happened to be available at a time when there was talk of a new state ban.
I don't hate the marking, but I can care less if it's there.
Does anyone know if LMT uses these markings for actual gov/le rifles, or is it just purely for show?
I know that they are in fact not restricted, but what I want to know is if this an actual marking intended for lowers going out to LE.
We just received a fresh batch of LE6920's if interested. ;-)

I have an old 6920 back when you had to send in letterhead.
And I have another plain AR. The markings really do nothing but inspire fat weirdos at the range to question the 'legality' of your rifle or some kid fresh out of the academy "demanding" to know how you got a 'Cop M4'.
Or the buzzcut Tackleberry doing a "Terry Inventory" "for your safety and mine" during a DUI/Seatbelt/papers please checkpoint seeing the words RESTRICTED LE/MILITARY/EXPORT USE ONLY....
That blasted engraving has inspired so much stupidity out of what should be right-thinking, educated people who probably know better but somehow don't.
Back inna day it was pretty much a status symbol that you had a brand spanking new Colt. Now anyone can get one and will pay extra. To me, it is a relic of a hopefully bygone time of the Federal ban where somehow a department sign off made you "more equal" enough to enjoy the simple pleasure of a collapsible stock, bayo lug, and flash hider.
If you found a marked one in new condition for the same as a stock 6920, have at it. But paying 400 more for some stupid words would be woefully lame.
FWIW, I'd never part with mine just because I've had it forever and it shoots how I like it to shoot.
I have had my "restricted" rollmark Colt since 2005 when there really wasn't much of an option for anything else for a 6920. At least in my neck of the woods.
Not to be a dick, but maybe find a new range? Or flip the gun over to the unmarked side, put it in case when not used, or my personal favorite strategy, tell the nosy neighbor to mind his (or her) own you-know-what business? I have never had anyone question me about my gun. Ever. Here or the libtard states next to me when it has gone with me to the range or for training.
OP; to answer your question, not worth the money or necessary with the same non-marked lower readily available these days.
