Default I hope I got the right "red" banana this time.

As some of you know, last week I picked up 2 of what I thought, and was labeled as such, were Red Abyssinian. Experts on this forum pointed out that those were not "reds". Went to a different Lowes today, picked up a Musa Red maurelii. Does this look like the real thing? What's the difference between Red maurelii and Red abyssinian? Is one a "musa" and the other "ensete"? Do they look similar enough when grown taller? The tag says it's a "fast" grower, which is perfect for me. I want to provide some shade for my Japanese maples.
