Good skate overall
These x7.0's replaced a five year old pair of Bauer XXX's. The x7.0 seems to be identical to the XXX but evolved and improved at the margin over the last 5 years. I think the price point of approximately $450 is the same. The boot is largely the same. I will say both the boot and the tongue on the x7.0 are stiffer though. They are definitely light.
These modern boots are not comfortable. At least Bauer offers three different fits now, as opposed to narrow and narrower from a few years ago. Even if you are used to a certain boot now, I would encourage you to try on the other fits (Vapor, Nexus, Supreme all fit differently).
My biggest beef with these modern boots is they dont last. I am comparing the x7.0s and XXXs to my previous two pair Micron Mega 10-90 Pros (8 years of daily usage) and Bauer 5000s (10 years of 1-2x per week usage). That said, they are so much lighter and stiffer that the trade off is worthwhile. I dont think they offer any better protection. Getting hit on the foot with a slapshot still hurts. Ouch.
So while I've only skated on the x7.0s maybe five times now in the last couple weeks, I expect they will last the same 5 years my XXX's last of 1-2x sessions per week, which is not impressive. My XXX's cracked on the toe where the boot meets the toe cap. My teammate has the same skates that are about the same age and he has the same crack.
Overall its a good skate and I would recommend it, but it is not a perfect skate.

I'm Impressed
Pros: Helped improve my game, Quality, Easy to use
Cons: Expensive
I bought these a couple of weeks ago. The initial fitting was rough but after they were baked, they fit like a glove. The first few uses were difficult to get used to. After about five uses, they're great. They feel a little narrow, but I've adjusted. I recommend the high Vapor skate sock with these.

All The Skate You Could Ask For
Pros: Great value, Quality, Easy to use, Features, extremely responsive, great comfort, great holder and blade, protective, lots of ankle support
Cons: Expensive, stiff not for beginners
This skate is almost identical to the X-60. Great support, protection, comfort and looks, it has it all ,at a reasonable price for a high end skate. The tongue is nicely padded with an insert for great lace bite protection. The Tuuk holder and blade compliment the boot and is the most preferred combination for pro players. The inside liner has two distinct sections that give you great comfort and moisture wicking properties and the boot moulds to your foot shape after only a few skating sessions even without heat moulding. The fit is a little wider than previous Vapor skates but if you have an extra wide foot you might want to look at the Supreme line equivalent. ( One 100) This skate can be used right up to the pro level and my guess is it will prove to be a very durable skate even with frequent use at a high level of play. This is a great skate for those whose budget won't allow you to purchase the higher end APX but personally I believe it's more than enough skate for most of the players at higher levels of play.
