I got the LE/XM7 combo from Creative during their sale, and I just want to say that it's an amazing system. The built-in mic array won't replace my well-positioned unidirectional Modmic, but it's still quite decent for what it is. More than sufficient for a quick Skype call or voice recognition. As for compatibility with the Modmic, no tweaking was needed with regard to gain on the X7; the default settings work well out of the gate.
The speakers are a bit larger and heavier than I expected, but that's not a negative - just know that you might have to get creative, depending on your desk. Personally, I have a very small desk with an Ergotech/LG bundle that extends beyond both sides. I found that I needed to lay the speakers on their sides, feet facing inwards, so they'd have clearance underneath my monitors. A few balls of Blu-Tack act as perfectly serviceable feet for this (any poster putty should be fine.)
My sole gripe is that I'm stuck with the white color scheme. The specs on the LE are a nice step up (especially for anyone who has, or may obtain particularly demanding headphones) but I keep seeing pictures of the original and feeling like it would suit my desk better. When the warranty is up, I might have to see about changing that in some way.
