Thanks for the reply. I do normally go for the XL on my C70 as I like the idea of a slightly stronger side wall and I agree there doesn't seem to be much difference in ride, but for some reason XL tyres seem to be quite limited for the V70, probably because it's only 15 inch wheels.

Maybe my original question should have been shall I settle for a different tyre that's XL rated rather than get the tyre I want at a lower rating?
