Where can you get the V2 for that little more? The hdx is like $300, was on sale for $230. The Trex V2 is like, $400-500 yeah? Anyway i don't know about better. The motor is pretty powerful, can't say how it compares to the XL though, never used it. Trex is the top of the line, but for the money, I LOVE MY HDX!
