I Google both the LTS and the HV model you mentioned and wow, HV is almost $900 more for what visually at least looks like the same camera...why is that?!

They are the same. LTS has LTS label on it and LTS firmware. You can technically flash hik firmware on it and it will work but sometimes LTS firmware is better than Hik

Does LTS have a 2/3 year warranty and do they have good support (help desk, firmware updates, etc)?

3 year warranty, excellent support and regular firmware updates too
