The bike's done over 25,000 miles (19,000 of which are mine) and has the touring Scot Oiler (hence why it's still on its first chain) so is it actually worth my paying the extra?
X is superior to O in terms of sealing ability but the biggest difference you'll see is down to how you look after your chain (and how you ride). A regularly lubed (scotoiled?) O-ring that only gets ridden in the dry will last longer than an X-ring ridden in all weather.
