Hi KKK250, welcome to the Sony Forums 
The letter 'b' denotes the black-finished version.
Although the CX130e is officially known as the CX130eb (black) and CX130er (red) both versions are more generically known as simply DSC-CX130e, the 'e' telling us it's the European (PAL video) version, rather than plain old DSC-CX130 (US version, NTSC) - all other things being equal on each.
As to why it's cheaper, it could be that red anodizing costs more, or that red is the new black... I suspect it's the latter, as the CX130er has sold out on the Sony.co.uk website and retailers' prices are simply reflecting the shortage.
Cheers
Mick
