What is the price on the green JD polyurea grease?

I have been using the JD Polyura grease since I bought my machine, it's what the local dealer recomends and stocks on the shelf.

I just bought 2 new tubes this past Saturday at $2.69 per tube.

After passing up lithium grease at TSC and a few other stores, I visited my local JD dealer to get the green polyurea grease that my FEL is craving. And they were out! Not only that, but the parts guy told me to use the JD lithium grease instead, which he did have in stock. I think he was being honest about his belief in what's best, but I wonder if it's based on any real expertise. Since my FEL was due for greasing, I did buy the pink JD lithium grease and squirted some into the FEL fittings... but I am wondering if the green polyurea is really what I need. Also wondering about incompatibility since the factory grease is supposed to be polyurea - seems that JD says it is compatible and all other sources say it is NOT compatible with lithium grease. Anyone?
