If you go to the US Mint site and add it to the cart it states "The expected in-stock date is Fri May 22 2020."

So, what is the difference between the Silver Proof Set and the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set? Packaging? Commemorative included? ASE?

LESPS includes an ASE and by default different packaging.

Oh, and that, at least for this year (and no W cent last year).

The silver proof set is a proof set with silver versions of coins, for those historically made from silver.
The LESPS is a silver coin set that includes the yearly regular-issue proof silver offerings.

Both include the silver dime, quarter(s), and half dollar. However the former includes the cent, nickel, and small dollar(s), while the latter includes an ASE.

Even more accurate that what I posted.

It's also cheaper to buy a silver proof set and an ASE than the LESPS. Last year would've saved roughly $40. And you get more coins.

Right. While it IS a nice presentation, I still don't understand the appeal of the LESPS since it's so much more for fewer coins. The packaging is not worth an extra $40.

Only time I bought the LESPS was 2017 when the silver eagle was the S mint mark where it was only otherwise offered in the Congrats set.

I would consider purchasing that in lieu of the ASE and proof set separately if the price was about equal since the packaging is nice, but as stated earlier, it's not worth the extra money.
