I wish I could help but I've used neither in that wattage. The only thing I can say is that as far as the Coralvue brand goes my experience with that brand has been pretty good. I have noticed that cheaper brands tend to be terrible as far as quality goes but I don't recall using XM specifically.

Thanks
From my feedback on other forums, it looks like I am going to go with the XB Brand Bulbs
