How does this compare to the past Xmodels? I am a first time buyer of this brand and I am hesitant- may want the older cheaper first.

Thank you all for your thorough responses! I bought the X1 because it has similar functionality to the X5 and is much cheaper (I also obviously get less). If I like it I will definitely upgrade. The majority of my music and books on tape are .mp3 format- so I want to make sure it all transfers well. Also the X1 is smaller and since I run a lot I didn't want a bulky mp3 player. Some said the X5 is rather large and heavy compared to other mp3 players.

I've had the X3 and now the X5, no comparison between the two. I have my X5 paired with the Fiio e12 diy, that is the ultimate.

It is better, I also have the iBasso DX90 which I like even more, smaller, lighter, better controls, clarity dynamics are fantastics, tight low end great sub base, check the review here "http://headfonics.com/2014/07/the-dx90-by-ibasso/". but if you prefer the Fiio X5 you can not go wrong with it also very good, I have both of them but prefer the DX90. Must have a good had phone or IEM to really hear the good sound.

I am really not familiar with the old models, but after checking deeply comparing other mp3 and also the X3, I chooses the X5. after using it I am very satisfy with it, remarkably good sound, 256gb with extra memory cards and quality built and design. I think it worth the extra cash for it. Strongly recommended.

The X5 is better sounding. Also better menu structure. Its a terrific device.

correction to my previous answer, there is one out there now used from emusic for 249. Buy it now if you really want one. EMUSIC is great and the price is the best.

Buy the used one from Amazon Warehouse Deals. They are returns, but some or perfect, that is how I got mine, a lot cheaper, Mine is perfect. X5 is the best, has two card slots. It supports 128gb micro sd per slot.

functionally, not much at all (I'm not a rep, but slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night ;) I got the GXP a year ago, (A) because they were out of stock on the cheaper XPro & gave me a *great* deal, and (B) the foot print of the GXP is smaller (depth by 6+ inches & height by a couple (IIRC)). For me, it was going in a 10x10 den. Better looks, 2x doubling cable & the cable arms... plus it fit... The GXP was and still is perfect.

Hot is definitely newer, sleeker but my diablo serves the function perfectly, my only complaint would be the view seems a little blurry compared to some others i have tried, but i dont see anything on the Hot that would fix that. to sum up, by last years model and save the $, or pay the extra for the newest model

I have been ordering BXA ones, both Aloris (which is the style) and off brands seem to work just well. The Aloris ones have some neat features but don't come cheap, just an FYI on that one. There are some 10-15 dollar ones floating around if you look and they work great! Let me know if you need anything else.

Extremely similar. I find the Duplex to have thicker posts/beams than the Multi X. Can't go wrong with either or !

I had same question! I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !? Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same. The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.

The Fuel model is better being brushless, lighter and more compact. Excellent drill. If you can get a Fuel model for less then the older style. It's a good buy.

Stay with the XL's you will be happier. I had the Arcitec - it's a gimmick, it doesn't give you anywhere the shave that the old XL's give you and it will give you razor burn like you won't believe. The XL's have floating heads that contour around your face and the Arcitec's blades barely move and won't curve to your face so you have to go over the same spot 4 or 5 times to get a smooth shave. I've had both and if you want to go with an electric shaver go with the XL. I've tried the Norelcos the New Braun and the Panasonic and couldn't get a totally smooth shave with any of them without spending a lot of time shaving so I went back to my old Mach 3. I'm much happier now. Stay with the XL's you will be happier.

I ended up buying both, first the newer model (heavy duty) because they were the same price as last year's model. I needed more of them and noticed that they had reduced the price on last year's model so I bought those. They look a little different but the quality is the same. The only difference I notice is the look which you can see from the pictures.

More bang for your buck will be the XTi, since it is cheaper and you honestly won't get much better photos from the 40D. However, if you can swing the money, I wholeheartedly recommend the 40D. I recently upgraded from the XT to the 40D. The additional controls make it so much easier to change settings, the larger size feels more balanced, etc etc. However, the XTi is a great camera, and don't feel bad about buying that either! It's a nice upgrade from my XT, which I loved for 2 years. You honestly can't go wrong with either one. Go to a store and handle each and see if one feels better in your hands than the other.

Looking at leatherman.com, it looks like there is a new version - in fact, it's the lead "story" on the site right now. This would likely be the reason for the price drop.Looking at the manufacturer's site, it looks like the only difference is cosmetic - the tools appear to all be the same. If it were me, I'd jump on the $20 savings and grab one of these before the new stock replaces it.

I will check that model out, thanks so much! (sorry I just saw your post today) :)

I've had great feedback on the MF piece but haven't had any experience on the other models that you mention. Eric C

Hah! I'm also a tried-and-true PMX70 fan, wanted to upgrade, tried the PMX680, found them to be terrible, went with a PMX80, they broke after a handful of uses... now rebuying assuming I just got a bad set.I feel the PMX80 is a little more heavy-duty and better-sounding, but I've not done a side-by-side.

Been reading all the reviews and wanted to get some insight on anyone who has had this model and how its holding up after you wrote your review.. any feed back would be great before i hit the complete the sale botton

This one is in the professional line. I had their top of the line home model for over 20 years. I figured this would last until I die.

I agree with the other poster here. I had an older B&D; model which fed great. Over so many years of use it finally came to an end. I purchased this one and the line does not seem to feed out as good as the old one. For that reason, it is not cutting or edging too good. I might look into a higher priced model or go with gas.
