Used both and if want a casting line then exocet,if want a faster sinking line with better abrasion resistance then syncro xt

Yes,the technium is probably the best mono but hard to get hold of,I did not like the cm90 it seemed to stand out.There is a new cm90 coming out apparently(new colour)but don't know when

Had issues recently with Drennan syncro XT loaded, twisting, stretching and curling when loading a reel spool.

What's wrong with the loaded version? Been using that for about four years now and have had no issues with it whatsoever

Agree I've been using it for a while, it does coil up when first cast out but once it's been out for a couple of minutes it's fine. It's a heavy line, obviously, so sinks very well but not the greatest for casting.

Less supple than standard XT, takes a set (coiling), and doesn't deal with twist as well imo. Just doesn't behave anywhere near as well as the standard stuff.
Edit: I was told it's the colour i.e. pigment that differs to the normal stuff. Not sure if it's true but if so it hasn't done it any favours.

Just put some water on it and it's good to go.

As Yonny posted below
plus its thicker and is not as strong as the normal in the same breaking strain (( see tackle box line tests))
if you havent used the normal you wont know just how good Syncro XT can be ( XT stands for extra tough apparently) and it is a lot more so than the horrible loaded coily version
I have used both of course to form my opinion
its a certain case of chalk and cheese
