Hi mate. I've also used xline for.many years. Still do
But I needed something that would work better on little baitrunners with my kids Dwarf setup . I was amazed at how well it handled compared to others I tried.

. . .agree, although its not that bad!

My current water is mainly bait-boat work so don't notice the springy-ness as much (I re-spooled from XT to loaded mid season) . . .loaded def sinks easily and knots well as previous - the colour is arguably more discreet . . .

Standard synchro definitely a better behaved, all round and better for casting line . . .

I also wasn't a fan of the loaded. It sinks very well, but I find too much line on the bottom can effect bite indication. I was finding that when reeling in, it was almost having to lift off the bottom of the lake, if I'm having to put effort into that, how many times am I getting picked up and not knowing about it. Not talking full blown runs obviously, but if. Bream picks you up, your unlikely to know about it

Don't get Ken and Keith Moore started lol
Line will move in a linear direction underwater, and the weight above will have a positive impact on this occurring. If you use a running lead you have the best indication you can get..

The XT loaded is a good line for margin and close in work with slack lines.
However Synchro XT is my go to line.
