EL-8 Distressor vs. El-8X

I have an EL-8, thinking about adding another... would it be worth it to sell it and get a pair of the "X" models? Saw something about the "X" working better in stereo, which would be important if it's a big difference.

Never used the "X", so advice from those with experience with the two would be cool. Thanks!

Empirical Labs can upgrade your existing Distressor EL-8 to an EL-8X for a pretty reasonable price.
