Ha, yeah, that kinda sucks. I bought the 25R for $40 and upgraded the speaker. I love the cleans and it takes pedals extremely well. I play in a duo with my wife. For many years it was acoustic only, but we have added a lot of electric blues material and our pa board doesn't have the # of xlr inputs needed to play an acoustic set and then play electric without a bunch of changes and hassle. We do have an extra 1/4" or two, so the line out is appealing.

Did you prefer the cleans on your frontman to the clean channel of the XD? What is the volume difference between the XD and 25R? Any insights appreciated.
