Why are Space Marine Land Raiders essentially 100 point seach (4 for 400) when Chaos ones are 75 points each (which can be bought in groups of 4-8)? Looking at the Rulebook/Black Legion list here. They look lke they are the same stat-wise.

The benefit of They Shall Known No Fear special rule increases their and all SM vehicles relative to their Chaos cousins.

The 400 is the original army list from the rulebook, right? NetEA suggests 325 is a more appropriate cost. (I thought it was 350, has it changed again?)

That makes the difference a mere 25 points. Are people taking Chaos
land Raiders? I see plenty of Predator formations to boost activation count.

They were considerably overcosted in the rulebook lists but are 325 in the community rebalanced lists in the tournament pack - http://www.net-armageddon.org/page/rules

SM vehicles generally are more expensive than CSM ones due to ATSKNF.

Chaos ones are cheaper there too at 75 points each in a variable mixed size Pred/LR formation, so cheaper for 4.
