Which is better for a family of four?

The Pro XL's single 6.5 qt basket fits more food at once, which suits batch cooking. The 2-Basket is better if you want a protein and a side cooking at the same time in separate zones.

Is the 2-Basket worth the extra $30?

Only if you will use the two zones often. If you mostly cook one thing at a time, the Pro XL does the same job for less.

Which one holds more food?

The Pro XL lists 9 lbs of food capacity in one 6.5 qt basket. The 2-Basket lists 8 qt total split across two baskets, so each side is smaller.

Do both reach the same temperature?

Yes. Both top out at 450°F, so browning and crisping results should be similar.

Which is easier to store?

The Pro XL is narrower at 11.3 in wide but deeper at 14.92 in. The 2-Basket is wider at 15.63 in but slightly shallower.

Can the 2-Basket cook two foods at different temperatures?

Yes. Its two baskets have independent settings, which the Pro XL's single zone cannot do.
