I have the XLII, and I like it. I have used it on acoustic, and it sounds good. Chords dont blow apart, the brightness is classy, not cheap sounding. My first go to for acoustic isnt LDC anyway, but the XLII is nice on vox and ac. guitar.

Bottom line:

Dont sell it to chase other gear. You will like it down the line. Many have chased many rabbits, only to start over.
