Hi Jim,
Sounds logical. I have also heard that the individual adjustable saddles may dampen the sound somewhat, but did you get that feature on your X10? Am I recalling correctly that you ordered your X10 with the single saddle? I find that my X10 has about the same volume acoustically as my previous generation X7. To my ear, the X7 has a "punchier" sound, the X10 seems to have a more mellow tone. If I dig in with the X7, I notice the increase in sound; not as much with the X10.
The X7 seems to hold its own. I expected the X10 to have more volume than it does. Your explanation makes sense.
