Supposedly they have made improvements in the recoil pad over the T3. Instead of the somewhat hard rubber, the T3x is a bit softer. I put a Limbsaver($26) on my new T3 SS in 30-06 as recoil is a bit more stout than my other 06s.

Good to hear that the stock has improved too along with the other refinements like the steel lug, opened ejection port and aluminum bolt shroud.

I went T3 as I plan to replace the stock at some point so $542 shipped wasn't too bad a price on the old model(JRTB320). The scope is a Conquest 3-9x40 in DNZ low mount.
