Ok, I had to dig out my old price guides and saw that when the Charcoal was in production, it had a MSRP of $199. The G-3's MSRP is $225.
As Scott said, availability plays a part in setting the price. The G-3 is still readily available while finding the Charcoal is more difficult, especially in 15#.
Visionary is still a good deal because they have not raised the prices of their balls as much as some other manufacturers have.
