You are welcome and thanks. I have had my X1 for about 3 weeks and I have come to love the super fast SSD drive and the AC network card (faster than N).
An AC wireless is a very nice improvement over N. MUCH more noticeable a difference than an NVME SSD is relative to a fast SATA-3 unit. I agree it makes sense to use the newest technology -- and I'd do the same if I was building a new system. Indeed, when I built the two systems I referred to above, I figured I'd buy myself an M.2 NVME drive as well (my motherboard supports it) => but after doing the builds, I changed my mind ... I don't think there's ANY reason to do that upgrade. I already have two 1TB SSDs in the system (a primary OS one and one dedicated to VM storage), along with 5 other hard drives (2 x 4TB, 2 x 3TB, and a 2TB) ... and my performance is just fine :-)
