The Reeb SST GX ($6495 USD) build is spec'd w/ a RS Deluxe Ultimate and the XO1 AXS ($9895) is spec'd w/ a Super Deluxe Ultimate. It is designed to be compatible with a coil, and it's sexy as hell w/ a coil. It is a fairly different geometry than the Darco though, likely a result of the local terrain of the designers.
If I were in the market, I'd take the Reeb, but I'm also in Colorado so there's that local brand loyalty aspect and "made for here", not to mention I'm a sucker for straight steel tubes. The Darco looks real nice as well and a well written review. It sounds like it's trying to fill a very specific user need, that I personally don't have with a progressive HT and my ~145mm FS in the garage.
Hopefully you all can get your hands on a SST to see how it does on the shore ;)
