To answer the OP's question are X2Fs really that bad? Yes.  And Im going to toss in a cat in a bag... Take a photo of your front or rear of your model train infront of completed scenery.  What is the first thing that stands out? Do the same with a Kadee, what do you notice now.  A giant spring and a trip pin. In both cases the coupler stands out (have a look at model railroad calendars if you dont beleive me).   Now take a Sergent Engineering scale coupler.  Same photo but look at the difference. No uncoupling ramp or below track magnet (just a 3" brass tube you hold in your hand with rare earth magents in each end). Cost:  Compareable or less than Kadee.  But yes you do have to assemble them or pay someone to do so.
