I'm waffling on this one, with only 10hrs left. Just bought the XTherm on its last drop and it is an awesome pad. The original sticker shock kept me away, but now I'm sold on the X series pads. Is it worth it to have both pads?

NamethI would say it's worth it in 2 situations. Either you live in a warmer place, where the XTherm will be too hot in the summer, or you are an extreme ultra-lighter and dropping the extra weight is worth the money to you.

cementdrivewayTotally agree.
For colder place, pick the xtherm.
For warmer place, pick the xlite.
I would pick for a half sized closed-cell egg-form pad to going grammie ultra-lighter, also sacrificing some comfort.
I would also suggest the seatosummit as it is the most comfortable inflatable sleeping pad I've ever tried. While also it's less warm than xtherm.
I wonder, why Massdrop never drop the Seatosummit products? Some of their goods are awesome!

NamethI understand your post is 8 weeks old, but in case others have the same question I'm adding my two cents :-)
For winter camping I have the Xtherm MAX Long, which is 25" x 78" iirc. I'm a small 5' 3" woman but I like extra width of the long and the lack of taper in the MAX series -- don't have to worry about my sleeping bag touching the snow :-) Most of my cold weather trips (nights below 25F/-4C) I haul my gear on a pulk so gear weight is less if an issue.
For 3 season backpacking (nights above 25F/-4C) I take a women's NeoAir, which is a teensy bit warmer than the regular (aka mens). The weight difference for me justifies having both pads.
I do plan on buying a NeoAir LONG, cutting it down to 60-66" so I can have a 25" pad. After that I will sell my women's pad. I originally bought an Xtherm tapered long, to cut down, but realized for winter I wanted the MAX, and for 3 season the non-Xtherm series was warm enough, so the added weight of Xtherm did not make sense.
