However, one big difference is that if the RIS 1.5 is operated with re-chargeable batteries, the batteries cannot be charged in the RCX since there is no plug anymore. Best regards (...)

I suspect there is a combination of things going on here: 1. Christmas rush for the kits that are out there. 2.
