Extended Potions - Why?

Hello!

I have a level 400 artificer character and was wondering about extended potions. These are the rare quality soulbound versions of powerful potions that use the exact same ingredients.

Example:

http://puu.sh/1pqH4

There is a bug which causes the yellow version to state a 2m duration but on testing it provided a 1 hour buff the same as the blue version.

My question is: What is the point of the yellow version? It seems worthless.
Difference: its soulbound, and vendors for less. The blue ones use the same ingredients and can be traded with friends/sold on tp.

Suggestion: Extend the extended! Make the buff on the rare version 2 hours or 3 hours. This may be intended but not functioning due to a bug.

Thank you in advance for your time reading and responding.
