From a purely mechanical standpoint, both units are 99,99% similar.
--> Same pitch linear dual carriage, same bank sliding mechanism...

MAIN DIFFERENCES :

1 – The resistive potentiometers are replaced by Hall sensors in the XPC

2 – The interface board includes a connector to the XPC hub and a PC/XBOX selection switch in the XPC

3 – The cable routing is more tidy
4 – Extra Xbox-specific buttons on the front plate

5 – The bank movement sensor  mounting bracket is made f molded plastic in the XPC

 

CONCLUSION :
Both units are similar except the Hall sensors and the Xbox interface capability for the XPC
