The 885 is from Onkyo Pro and is exactly the same as the 9.8, but the 885 comes with rack mount ears and the face plate is differnt. Apparently the rack mount ears are the reason for the extra $200. However, you can find the 885 more readily on the web and for a discount where you'll have to press your dealer for the 9.8.

Can't wait to see what Outlaw releases.
