But, I can honestly tell you that the XT kicks butt when it comes to running hats. I have run 100's and 100's of hats and I rarely have issues. You must of course consider all factors...good quality product, a design digitzed for hats, proper hooping, just to name a few. Good luck...you will hear both good and bad. I can only speak for myself.
