Just to echo what a few others have said, I've had my 2XL for about a month now. I came from a Samsung S7 Edge, which was my first Android phone after several years of iPhones. My experience with the S7E was pretty good, but the clean, stock Android experience of the 2XL is just on another level.
Hardware wise, I think I got a good 2XL. Blue shift is there, but honestly I don't really notice it much. Also, for me, the software experience far outweighs the more cosmetic kinda issues.
Not sure I'll deviate far from Google / Pixel in the future. Maybe for something else that's pretty much stock, but that something else would have to be very, very special!
