It's subjective, but it seems to me that the forum buzz over X2 is nowhere near the fever pitch it was for versions 6, 7 and 8. Maybe it's just me who's become jaded, maybe it's the lingering fallout from X1's anticlimactic release, but I just can't seem to muster any excitement over this one.
8.5 was the last "true" stable version and I think X1 has evolved quite well from it's initial release to be just as stable. Dave, are you on X1 or 8.5? I've used X1 on an older machine (32bit system) and it has been a very good experience.
X2 seems to be a more enhanced version of X1 and for me personally (looking ahead), I've been planning on building a 64bit machine that can utilize a lot of the capabilities that X2 has to offer. RAM being my biggest issue, my current system just can't be keep up with what I'd like to do. I'm at a point where I'll have to keep up with technology.....besides, I'm like kid in a candy store when it comes to getting brand new schtuff......."stable" GAS.
