No different, just with a longer stiffer butt. Suspect it would make a nice casting rod to learn on. There's also the full tournament xl. Most Zziplex can be made to order with longer butts, stiffer tips etc. Just be prepared for a very long wait!!
I think a Hst EVO with a longer butt would make a nice rod. Once a rod gets the EVO name that's basically as stiff as that model goes.

I've got a newer model Synchro standard. It's not a stiff rod but it is plenty powerful enough. I'd describe it as through actioned and works best with a big arc - a proper wind up rod. As far as I know the XL is the same tip as the standard but with a longer butt.
I know the older models were stiffer than the modern Synchros. It's quite a step down from the M4 Evo in stiffness and feels very different in the cast. That said the old Synchros have been cast 300 yards on the field and the newer ones are still very capable indeed.
Love mine to bits for clean to mixed ground beach fishing or on piers where there is not too much of a lift. Anything heavier / higher up I use the M4 Evo.CLIP IT AND WHACK IT
