The EP400 and EP500 are near enough the same price point, that if floor space and size aren't a concern, you'd just buy the EP500.

I am guessing that Axiom is targeting this to those that find the smaller form factor is of greater importance over saving money on something that doesn't perform as well.

Just as in the spy world, the smaller gadgets are cooler, and sometimes worth a little extra cost.
