man am i EVER the opposite...i did have the xb8 early on, in fact my 1st one was a prototype as the story goes... i tend to wait and let everyone else be the guieenea pigs and do all the home work for me. i only switched to K car because i thought it would fit my style better. while i am tempted to get a losi, after seeing it on the track, i bet it would feel like a xray to me. also im big into durability, i broke like 1or 2 items on the xb8 in maybe 7 gallons, nothing on the sp2 yet either, cept bladders lol... xray shocks took care of that 
i think its a silly waste of cash to me, what most of these guys are doing. they must have the income to do that, i sure dont. i couldnt switch like that unless i knew it was for a long haul. changing cars and or trucks, dont help you much in progressing. it can.... like when i went from a hyper 7 to a xb8... lap time went way down... for me... sp2 over xb8? well maybe not leaps and bounds, but the fact that i FEEL more confident in the handling make it worh the change in cars for me. i would consider going back to xray IF they came out with a new chassis with better weight placement.
