Default Comparison: Enya X3 Pro Mini VS X4 Pro Mini

Not sure if anyone out there actually has one of each, but if they do, would sure like to hear your thoughts on these two carbon fiber guitars.
I’ve had the X4 pro mini for the last few months. I quite like the guitar overall. I’m happy that there’s a pickup installed. But I’m not keen on the preamp/FX system.

I also find the guitar fairly heavy. Not sure if that is as a result of all of the electronics inside, the battery, etc.

So I have been eyeing the X3 pro mini, and wondering whether that’s a better fit.

Any thoughts?

I only have the x3pro mini... And quite like it. I'm not sure what the difference is other than the nice case, electronics and unique sound hole placement in the x4... I like the electronics and in my set up they are pretty clean and good sounding... Very Playable and intonation is fantastic.
FWIW just get one from amazon and if it works awesome if not...back it goes.

I have the X3 Pro Mini. I like it. The pickup was OK. I swapped out the pickup. And I removed their preamp, thinking it would lighten the guitar weight. It did. But not that much. It's still heavier than I expected.

But I like the guitar.

...just bought the x4 pro mini and will have it friday. I was kinda of searching for the x3, because of the soundhole placement. woulda made some things easier. But I'm somewhere where opportunity must be grabbed. I'd really like to add a mag pickup to the x4 but that makes it even harder. anyone have any ideas what magnetic pickup...maybe a jazz that mounts to the side of the neck ? ...gotta be very thin.

I'm looking for videos of the Enya X3 Pro mini and X4 pro mini unplugged. Has anyone found any?
