My X20-7 looks to be about as high as this - the 27" scale length for the 7th string is going to exaggerate that a bit. My 'regular' X20 is definitely lower, but still with a good break angle over the saddle.

The 7 plays beautifully - any buzzing I get is entirely due to me getting used to the extra string (mostly) and the fan frets (a bit).

On the 6, I do occasionally get a little touch of that sitar-like zing on the 2nd string, but I can make it go away by changing how I pick the string - so that one's down to me. This one spends most of its time in open D, plays better than any acoustic guitar I've ever owned, and came from the factory that way.
