At least they've put the XTB handles in them not the poxy ultegra XTD jobbies they look like a fat birds legs they're so chunky 😂

Don't really know much about the Shimano big pit reels. What's the difference between the XTD and the XSD apart from cosmetics. Are there any other differences? If the only difference is the cosmetics, would I be right inassuming that this would apply to all aero techniums?

But are they identical mechanically. Is it just cosmetics that determines the difference between the two.

Yes, agree, just cosmetics.
Some parts are interchangeable between different reels/models.
e.g. quite a few people like to take parts from the XTC Tech Mag (Black) and put on the XTB Tech Mag (also black, but some parts were shiny silver which can be replaced with black versions)

Indeed, £120 for a kit that does 3.
I have 7 that I was going to do...although I already purchased a couple of the individual bits I found on eBay.
I might flog 3 as they are boxed like new, and they're currently going for circa £1400 (for 3) on the Shimano pages on Facebook.
That'll be useful money to go towards these new models. I like the look of them
