Uh, what is your fear of memory regarding the 978 based on? Remember, 2 years is a generation where technology is concerned.

At any rate, the XMC is a very long way from a bug free introduction, and seeing as to how their UMC was such a travesty foisted on an unsuspecting public, you might do well to take a wait and see attitude to see if the drop outs, freeze ups, random blasts and black outs show up on the XMC as well. It took them 2 years to solve the bugs and some customers are still complaining.
