It may have something to do with the installation costs. If you're going to
install the 300XL as an IFR unit you'll need a CDI and an annunciator - not
cheap. I *THINK* that you can probably install it as a VFR only unit which
would seemingly make it a better deal than the 250XL.

Just my $.02

As a follow-up, can anyone figure out why the GNC 300XL (the IFR-certified
version of this unit) is actually available for LESS money on Ebay and
other sources?
