I think they also had the Remington for $79.99.  Like other B18 variants but way nicer stock.  With a 3-9x40 scope these are great deals.

"Like other B20 variants" I thought the Remington was a B18/19?. The Ruger is a XS B 25 Diana clone

Yes,

The B-25 and Rugers are relative clones of the Diana 34s.  Nice.  The Remingtons are made by Crosman and are B18 clones.  When you buy replacement parts from Crosman the part numbers even say B18xxx-xx

They had the Vantage for $79.99!  With a scope.  At least that is what the ad said.  That is a pretty good deal right?  I had a Summit.  Beautiful stock.  Smooth cycle.

That's a great deal for either of those Remington rifles. Never heard them called B18 clones though!

Looked around for this linkage between the Remington Vantage 1200 and the BAM B18. Seems to be true! The B18 became the B19...and then the Crossman Quest 1000! If you look at that and the Remington Vantage 1200 side-by-side they look identical. Funny, as you see some places selling the Remington for $170+! The Quest goes for about $90. I thought I got a good deal on the RV1200 @ $89...

The Summit has a way nicer stock.  Guess you are paying for that and a nicer muzzle brake and sights.  Either way $79 for a Vantage is awesome.
