Ok so I am almost five days in with my 950 XL here are my thoughts:
-It definitely "seems faster" than my 1520, no doubts about it.
-You only really notice the difference in screen size to the 1520 if compared side by side, otherwise the screen size is just fine.
-Still miss the "weight" of my 1520.
-Camera is good, don't know that I would call it "amazing" though as some others have.
-The 950 XL doesn't feel as good to hold as the 1520, using a case really improved this, but I hate using a case, especially on a phone where I can just swap out the housing if it gets dinged.
-Bluetooth connectivity with my car is alot more reliable with the 950 XL. Ever since I upgraded to Win10 on my 1520, Bluetooth connectivity had been very inconsistent, which is odd because I never had a problem on Win8.
-Can't use the 950 XL with gloves, really disappointing.
-Hate on screen soft keys, gimme hardware keys any day.
-Iris scanner is so inconsistent, I can't recommend it as a feature.
-Fast charge is cool, even though I had to buy all new accessories.
Overall I like my 950 XL but I don't love it, although I didn't expect to love it so it's on par with my thoughts going in. I would say it's a good replacement for the 1520 but only because there really isn't anything more comparable right now and the average camera on the x3 is a deal breaker for me. In conclusion, I'll miss my 1520.
