The 800XL sold the most units, so it's probably likely that more people had them, and thus more people have more nostalgia for them.

It is all about the nostalgia. I was introduced to this thing called "BASIC" on the 800XL and remember the joy of making the computer beep the theme from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

This is true for me, my grandfather had one and it was the first computer I used with any regularity.
