Has anybody tried fireline XDS?

[Young Salt]

It that time of year when I'm thinking about spooling up my reel. Up untill last month I was going to put regular fireline on it, but now that they've come out with the newer fireline xds, i was giving it some thought.
Has anbody tried it? Does anyone know if it's worth the price - at $20 for a 125 yard spool, it's almost twice as expensive as the regular stuff! I've talked to guys who love fireline, and they say that they've gone 3-4 seasons with the original stuff.
