The key improvement touted with the Zero is that it takes the X's super-free rotational float and adds an adjustability feature. It's a good strategy for roping in Tyler Hamilton fans married to more traditional systems, but for anyone interested in Speedplay's signature float, it's kind of superfluous. Who'd buy Speedplays to run them at 2deg float?
In addition, the Zeros perform fabulously overall, but the slightly more complicated mechanism is (in my opinion) marginally less smooth-operating than the X's clip. If broad float appeals to you, try the X first. Which ever level (X3, X2, etc) fits your budget. The clip and cleat are the same as you go up and down.
Enjoy!

Agree the Zero adjustability feature is not important. I got the Zeros thinking the X's would have too much float for me. But, find I run them basically open anyway. Only issue which I've mentioned before is that Speedplay's are a bit sensitive to dirt and grit. Solution is to use the Coffee Shop Covers at rest stops; they keep everything clean and prevent wear on the cleats.

Also -- for speedplay users who switched from more conventional systesm -- is the lack of friction/free float awkward/bothersome?
