996XT ~ 2 different ones?

I looked on radioshack website a little bit ago and seen this, they now have two scanners with the model number BCD996xt, but 2 different catalog numbers.

The one real one ~ Uniden 25,000-Channel Digital Mobile Scanner w/ GPS Support : Mobile Scanners | RadioShack.com
and ~ Bearcat Digital Mobile TrunkTracker IV Scanner with GPS - RadioShack.com

My question is, What is the difference?

Maybe I am missing something. But any info is greatly appreciated.

The silver one is the 996T, despite the name showing up as the 996XT - not sure why it's still being sold. Considering they're both showing as out of stock, maybe they're not.

Which one is the better of the two? The 996XT, right?

P.S. Thanks for the quick reply

The 996T is an older model and has less capabilities. Go for the black one (it's the "real" 996XT).
