Hi Luis,
You have to consider how much use has the XL1 has had on the heads. I always go new, never old, because you never know if there’s anything wrong with it. I heard you should stay with the same DV tapes and never switch. I have a GL2 for two years now and I like it because it’s small enough to travel around with. If your leaning towards the XL1, maybe you should wait and same your money and purchase the XL2. It’s only my thought.
Good Luck on your decision.
