XS (first 5 photos)
– More spacious cockpit. Which is a huge plus.
– Looks more proportional when I am on it
– Seat is slightly forward to compensate for long reach, but have been experimenting with more neutral positions
– Have learned to stop and start comfortably on it but…
– Minimal standover clearance and if I have to bail I have to be careful to land on my tip toes if I go too forward, or I risk hitting my junk
– Wide turns felt a bit tricky at first but as Ive ridden more they feel easier
– Standing to ride feels easier
– Maybe in my head but it feels like I get more power and speed on it for less effort
– Reach feels maybe a bit stretched
XXS:
– First thing I noticed is cockpit feels noticeably smaller. Knees closer to handle bars. I could probably raise seatpost a bit and move seat a bit back
– Slightly easier handling with turns
– More comfortable standover clearance
– Looks a bit small on me proportionally
I am still stuck on which to keep. Right now I am hoarding both. Planning to sell one eventually

Xxs and get a longer stem – consider redshift shockstop as an upgrade when doing so (similar benefit to future shock) – try r/bikefit for actual number suggestions (read the FAQ and rules when you get there)
