I jumped to the end of part 2 to hear him basically say they are comparable. I didn't watch it all because it was only about wakesurfing. From a wakeboarding perspective I don't find the 2 boats even in the same ball park. The G23 is an awesome wake. My friend with a VLX once commented that I never complained about his wake until I started riding the G23. The difference is literally like a tiny kicker compared to a Unit XL at the cable park.
