XL or BKB?

[Odin]

So what I'm asking is:
1) Which mod do you prefer and why?
2) Was what I read about the BKB supermod about the beta version and has it been fixed?
3) What are the major downsides of both the mods?

Thanks in advance for your help

I prefer XL because of the concept that has been employed. Land = power/money. In vanilla TW you can build a vast trade empire with any nation, in XL you need to have land to attain wealth and power, in my opinion thats how it should be.

I dont see any major downside to XL, the downsides are inherent in the MTW mechanics already (lack of a robust diplomacy model comes to mind). XL gives you more and its a fine mod.

I cant answer the BKB questions as I have never played it, from what I have read here on the boards its a fine mod worthy of try for sure.
