Holy Crimeny, is this an old thread or what-??!
What am I doing here??? 
For me, the “are IXO models worth the expense” issue boils down to this: It’s strictly in the eye of the beholder.
For me, IXOs are junk, pure and simple. I own a bunch, and with few exceptions –
they stink. That’s just an opinion, but it’s mine, and I’m sticking to it.
For other collectors, though, IXO models are the bee’s knees, if only because IXO issues models nobody else produces or is likely to produce, and that’s terrific. Who am I to suggest they’re wrong and I’m right, or visa versa?
It’s all in the eye of the beholder: What’s one man’s poison is another man’s elixir (or something like that). Ain’t that profound?
