P3D RBT Cameras, Flash etc.

Does anyone have a review on the X4 camera?
I have enjoyed the reviews of the S1 and X3, and I believe my RBT
purchase ( spring?) will certainly be one of these 3 cameras. I like the
idea of 2x2s from the lab to preview....so this excludes the S1,
correct? ( I need 75mm base?) 
I will verify that Dr.T's shot I saw using the S1 was the sharpest
stereo image I have ever seen! ( I'm sure considering I have a beat-up
Realist and a Nimslo :-)) I have 2 slides, one using a minolta 50mm and
the other a Nikkor 50mm that may perhaps rival this sharpness in
George's shot But these are flat 2D slides...to see these images in
stereo would be awesome!
Congratulations George....I know how good you must feel!! And I know I
need an RBT after seeing Dr.T's image!  Auto-exposure aside, will the X4
lense options ( which ones?) rival the S1 sharpness? Is the exposure
meter in the X4 as accurate as the S1 assuming the indicated readings
are followed? ( no need to describe the merits of auto focus and other
program modes...I understand these well)  And X4 users and others, would
you recommend holding out until I have the money to go with the X3 or
S1?
Thanks for the advise!

BTW..I like to set indoor exposures at a camera setting that will
capture the ambient light and guesstimate a flash setting that will act
as a fill flash. When a nice lighting balance is obtained this
way......just like being there!
