ok, if your going solderless then the price is about the same (X.B.I.T. vs X2.2+pogo pins)
ease of installation is about the same for a pogo job
just to clarify, both are LPC mods, but the x2 is flashable and externally prgrammable, which the xbit is programmed via usb
i think for a n00b who knows absolutely nothing youll be better of with an xbit, it includes everythign you need and is fairly idiot-proof
