SOME Barons do, the newer 58 and the out of production 58TC
and 58P.

I looked very carefully at the Weeping wings webpages, the
FAA STC for that company and the Beech [Raytheon] TCDS for
the Baron 3A16 and only some, as you said, are certified.
Only about 120 B55 Barons are eligible for known ice.

The Cessna Caravan 208, is a new airplane built under the
latest Part 23 rules, it is certified for known ice,
otherwise FedEx would not have bought so many.

But the OP said "his Baron B55 was certified for known ice"
and if you look carefully at the company website, they
install the system only for "safety of flight." See
www.weepingwings.com on the Investment link.
