Aside from universal ONTAP version support, are there any other upsides to using XDP? Depending upon which NetApp rep I ask I get differing answers on whether XDP is file-level copy or block-level. But again, thank you for the answers!

It is slighltly slower but the benefit of not having to worry about source/destination versions is worth it for us since we have a bunch of clusters cross mirroring different volumes and with DP we had to upgrade a dozen clusters at the same in order to not break snapmirror.
