Of course, one might say that about almost anything
that carries the "Hasselblad" brand name.

To me, about the only thing going for XPAN is that
it uses 35 mm film, which will make it easier to 
get the film itself processed.  Of course, what 
happens after that (prints? slides?) is anybody's guess.
