From what i have been told the XR's run a different chip...thats it and it aint worth 10K extra.

Afraid not the drivetrain in the XR6 and the XLS6 is identical, no chips about it. If you were to say XR6T yes then there is a different chip and turbo associated parts obivously.
The 10K xr v's xls cost is a bodykit, wheels, suspension, brakes, interior changes(little)personaly i dont think its worth it, as the xls is a good package anyway espesh if you get a tray top with ladder racks.(and better load cap xr=650kg xls tray=1100kg)

Back when I got mine (XR8), aircon, ABS and LSD was an option on XLS but standard in XR range, not sure if this situation has changed but it made the price difference more acceptable.

And the XR8 was the only one one that had the lump in the bonnet
