I'm strongly considering the X over the Live.

It's a steep price but the workflow with so many dedicated buttons vs the menu diving of Live seems like a worthwhile addition, plus the preamps and two additional inputs since I'll be using an external keyboard with it.

But I don't know. None of the shops out here have either for demo.

I've got a good two months before I have to decide so I'm hoping I can get someone hands on time before then.
