Hi Mikey,
I've worked with the XM2 and it SUCKS compared to the Sony. I know I'm probably biased [just a bit] but I liked the Sony much better. The 2100 seems like perfection itself. Unless of course you need some 30 frames of progressive video...
Today I was looking at Panasonic DVX100a - a new & improved model that supports a variety of frame rates but the price is a bit higher (about ~3500 USD).

I'll still get the VX2100
