    The X-valve is an all aluminum version of the Retro valve. Only the back half of the Retro is aluminum. The only other difference is that the Retro has a slightly different on/off assembly, which neccessitates having the valve modified by a machinist if you want to install the Ultra Light Trigger kit (ULT). The X-valve accepts it with no modification.
    My feedback is available here.

        that is not 100% accurate. the retro valve was all stainless. none of it was aluminum. also not all the retro valves had the single oring on-off.

            x valve is the better of the two. its lighter and also takes the ULT kit without any milling. also, if you buy the x valve through AGD or some other sellers, the lvl 10 is included. this is not so with rt valve
