Hi Alex,
As you resurrected this very old thread I started, let me share my experiences of the past 6 or so years.
I ended up owning and using both types of EPs. Generally I prefer XW's, except for the 22mm LVW, which I prefer to the 20mm XW. The 22mm is definitely the queen of the LVWs; 10mm of the XWs.
But I no longer own any XWs or LVWs. I got sick of heavy and bulky EPs. My EPs now are the two Pentax XFs 12 & 8.5 mm & a couple of Masuyama style plossls. I also have a generic ultra-wide 30mm which is crappy on its own, but very good in a long barlow & very versatile for public astro events. The XFs are the best EPs for me: small, light, good FOV, outstanding optics, great ergonomics.
