Cheers Paul

The brushless motor and belt drive seem to be the only changes over the X2. They should have gotten rid of the torsion spring and fitted an air spring
Fitting the large XY table as sold by  Little Machine Shop would have been a popular move too.

[They also have a new version of the C6 lathe, the SC6 which also has the brushless motor.]
