If you are only wanting to play with basic load-balancing, they are relatively similar IIRC (it's been about 4 years since we upgraded from the XLs to the ADXes). The old XLs don't support the new content-based load balancing (ie. using an HTTP header to set affinity or using the URL to decide which server to send traffic to, I think brocade calls it 'content switching').
