You have used the same product description as on the standard model 5215 (item #882838) but clearly there must be something different with this 5215-c-x model because it is more than twice the price of the standard 5215. Please update the product desc.
The more expensive unit comes with 60' length of cable. The cheaper is the antenna only.
