As the 'x' comes from the internal geometry. it can't be avoided. The little 'x' doesn't bother me, and I like the even light spread. I haven't seen a more even light spread from any other make mentioned here or, in fact, any other headlight. The lights that seem to be stronger, are not stronger. Unlike TruckLite, they concentrate more light around the center, so the center is brighter. However, their total light output is not greater, so, while the center is brighter, the rest of the area is dimmer vs the TruckLite. I find the TruckLite wide-angle performance be an advantage when visibility is poor, either on or off road. Along with the wide & even spread, the TruckLites have a very straight and horizontal cutoff. This allows aiming them a bit higher, without blinding on-coming traffic, while getting a wider lighted area. The high beam is better than Speaker or other LED competitors. Offroad, they have been good enough to allow me to postpone adding extra lights. All I need (...should I say 'want'? 
) to add, is some flood or diffused reverse light, and rock lights. The advantages of LED lights are such, that I wouldn't go back to older headlight types.

Been running my tl's this winter and we have snow that when it hits you its like getting hit with a slurpie, mine gather snow too. The nice dry fluffy snow that falls in most places you will have no problems but with the slop we get, they freeze up quickly.

I have the JW Speaker 8700 and i absolutely love them. So bright and a great cut off. I have been running them for 3 months and have never been flashed. Plus I really liked that black out look.
Just don't forget to purchase an anti flicker harness what ever LED headlight you purchase.
