I was running Ushios last year, and switched over to the XMs too. I like the XMs better, but I didn't mind the Ushios either. Biggest factor in my choice was the price. I do recall reading the comparrison that was done in Advanced Aquarist, and the XMs came out slightly better. I do think the XM, which are 10 moths old now, are holding the colour better than the Ushios did. I will probably stick with the XMs next time, but I would like to try the 14ks instead of the 10ks.
