I think many people overestimate the xb40. Everybody seems to think that
with the xb40 they will be able to play chromatically easier than with
overblows.

Overblowing is just as difficult as bending and the main challenge is
intonation. Intonation is also the main obstacle in bending and will
also be a big problem in the xb40.

You could yes, but you wouldn't want to would you.

I mean you could if you could stand the sound, but I would sooner stop
playing all together (and that is not meant to offend, it is a matter of
taste).

I think it will be around much longer than you think.
Playing techniques don't disappear that easily.
