X has been reliable for me thus far but if I ever have a failure would probably consider moving to XR upper or lower depending on where the failure occurred.
If the X is working for you, leave it alone

My experiences are that the only thing that they're addressed over the years is the price, 10 years ago an upper set was $ 1400, now there nearly $ 2k
