the CDX had heating problems if you use the 32x I have heard. Other than that I think it's pretty much equal. The Model1 is the most solid...I don't know about reliable (know lots of people where the cd drive goes out)

Model 1 rocks
Model 2 big and cumbersome
CDX - i would not advise using it for the 32X and I here it has problems with some games... never tested that for myself though.

I would go with the CDX. I've had the model 1 before and sold it. To me, it seemed like the CD tray caused the discs to get scratched after extensive playing.
I like the CDX because the CDs don't have to lay on a cd tray and spin. And the CDX saves lots of space and uses less electricity since it doesn't need two power adapters like a Sega Genesis with a Model 1 or Model 2 SEGA CD sytem.
And try playing a Model 1 or 2 Sega CD system in your car with a portable monitor.
I've had no problem with any of the major title CD or cartridge games running on the CDX. I don't use a 32X, so no overheating problems for me.
But everyone has their preference, so take the comments made here and decide which is best for you.

'Solid' meaning 'well made and durable', not literally solid. I just say that because the model 2 feels flimsy in comparison. The CDX is a nice unit, but you end up paying a premium for the same functionality that you get with a Gen+Sega CD. Also, I have never experienced the scratching problem that you speak of.
I haven't heard about that, but I don't hear people saying Terminator or Jurassic Park are fun games to play either.

Yeah, but those games aren't really anything you'll be playing often and aren't worth the time (to me)..
The compact size of the Genesis CDX is best for me. It just takes up less space and I really only need it to play Snatcher and Ninja Warriors.

I had an X'Eye and it never game me any problems (except that I couldn't use it with my 32x) plus it looks hella cool. I think I've read somewhere that the CDX has slower load times (1x speed as opposed to the 2x model 1 + 2... but I may be wrong). Personally I'd grab the X'Eye for rarity's sake.
i thought all sega cd(s) where 1x
Excellent choice!
