Thanks Lance...this sort of input is valuable. Could I further elicit responses on this topic also from a few other XL drivers who frequent this list?

Good question....
I have an XL/Jab 3300. It can be pretty bumpy, particularly when lightly loaded (i'm 120lbs) I think my XL is great, but I *would* prefer it to be less bumpy. It yaws quite a bit in turbulence. Its a bumpier ride than the RV's around here.
My trutrak digitrak autopilot does quite a good job of smoothing it out, but you still feel it.
If you are concerned, and you have the extra money/time, go with the 9...(or a 7 - doesn't that have a higher wingloading still?).
cheers,
