Juliet VS X Squared

[SecretNinja]

I just thought more about it the other day. So I figured I'd ask the majority here. It seems as if most like the fit, look and feel of Juliets, as opposed to X Squared. So why is it that whenever XS are up for sale they fetch more $ than Juliets? Is there something that I'm missing?

I always assumed that they’re simply rarer in the market since their run was so much shorter, being towards the end.

I suppose that kind of makes sense. So, if Half X were more rare than the first 2, they'd be on the higher end as well?

No. Half X have hinge problems and aren’t very wide.

X-Squared were the last true iteration of X-metal frames. I think thats part of why they fetch a little more. They were in production for only a few years by comparison to the Juliet as well

I like the design of the nose bridge on the XS much more than the Juliet

That’s a good point, they’re easier to work on.

The rest is better on the Juliets though... I like my XS, love the Juliets

Half x are so low priced I usually can’t resist when they pop up. You could BNIB for $250 a couple years ago

I like the XS but Juliet’s just look better imo. XS cost more just due to less common.
