The XX is a recent auction purchase - a slightly worn set for daily wear.
I also recently bought a set of Juliet custom cut VR50 Gold lenses and loved the tint and transmission so much for overcast days and evening cycling, I had to get a pair for XX. A local cutter did me these from a Fast XL donor.
I know the Prizm Trail is probably an optically superior alternative for cycling in cloud with a high transmission (30%) like the VR50 Gold (35%). I'm getting a Prizm Trail XX cut soon, but still think I'll be using the VR50 Gold which feels 'warm' to look through.
Once you've tried all the XMetals and know your favorites, you then have the pleasure of endless experimenting with lens tints. Expensive but lovely hobby
