I have used XPS exclusively for several years and can't tell any difference at all. Have always loved it and always will. I forget where I saw it but there was some independent company that tested in the neighborhood of 30 different brands of Flourocarbon in every category imaginable and the XPS was clearly the best overall flourocarbon based on all the ratings. I don't think the XPS won any category but it consistently was near the top in all of them and all it did was support what I already knew is that it is a great line and I won't change anytime soon. I think it was some on line tackle warehouse that did the testing. They tested lines, rods, reels, all kinds of stuff. The report that I read sounded pretty legit in that they were not biased in any way and really did not care who won or lost any category. They had lines that cost upwords of $40 per roll down to the cheaper Flourocarbon lines. I will say that InvizX scored some of the worst of all of them and the only reason I remember this is my buddy chunknwind is a big InvizX fan and he was amazed when he saw the same report. Most noticeably was how VISIBLE InvisX was under water compared to the rest of the Flouro lines tested and even against Mono. Take it for what it is worth but this is what I know. Me XPS until I notice something has changed. Landed too many good 5+ lb Smallies on 4 and 6lb test to change now.
