The boss not only sounds better to my ears,but the sounds aquired with the boss are more useable than the pods...just my opinion...
Also,it does depend on what you plan on doing with it.If you must have a usb port than the PODXTL may be for you.I use the Boss direct(line out to sound card)and it sounds phenominal,but ive never used a pod for direct recording,so I can't say which sounds better.
Try once,fail twice...
