The 850 had the older BiCS4 96L TLC NAND. The X uses the newer BiCS 5 112 layer TLC to better compete with the Micron 176 layer NAND used by competitors and stay on top as one of the fastest.

The controller is a newer version tweaked for the new NAND. I don't think the controller hardware has changed though.

The 850x over 850 looks similar to an incremental refresh Kingston did from the KC3000 to Fury Renegade.

I would buy the cheapest of the 850x or the Fury Renegade (1TB is $110 at TigerDirect, $115 at B&H).

Refresh as in 2nd gen controllers that run cooler? More like an upgrade really

Whatever you want to call it is fine. Technically it is the same tweaked Phison controller just a software tweak version change. My point really is that it is the same evolution of the Kingston. If you want to call both upgrades, sure. The impact is incremental. The X is mostly marketing hype.
