Actually Millzy, the rear end of the X - 6 has a much wider pivot than the B4, with shorter arms to help keep the width correct. We didn't want super-short arms, though, so the the hub is a tiny bit further out than on a B4. That combined with the variable-height transmission is why most run the #5660 longer cvd axles.
I would also argue that all rc shocks are coil-over emulsion-dampened shocks, and thus fairly similar. There are slight differences in on-track performance, mostly due to the different pistons of the various manufacturers, but they'll all do a great job in the right hands. Now, there are vast differences in how easily each shock builds and how long they last; those are more subjective measurements though and why various drivers might prefer one shock over another.
