I`m exactly the same. Currently run a blue pedal into a 1987x, and whilst I`d really like one of these, it`s probably just for the sake of having it!
It appears to sound like a proper Ecstasy
It's small and light
It looks great
Heard reports of noisy effects loops on TGP which puts me off a bit
The loop does add a bit of noise on mine but honestly doesn’t notice once you start playing it.
I’m still trying to resist the temptation of the matching 1x12 cab!
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer SS2 & T62
* Music Man Luke 1

does it sound like a full size xtc, particularly the blue channel?
what other amps have you owned that the 3534 is better than?
some general comments would be great though
I’ve not played the larger xtc. The red channel is very similar to the Uberschall Twin Jet I had.
I like the 3534 more than the Uber and Shiva (regular and 20th). I’ve had an Atma and actually think they are similar.
The Atma is brighter and the 3534 smoother and fuller sounding.
Generally the Blue channel is the most fun. It’s just a nice tone to play the classic rock riffs through.
Red has loads of gain. Easily enough for drop D riffing. I don’t play anything heavier but I reckon it could take it.
For me, the nice thing is just that it’s an easy amp to play. No battling with the eq to get a good sound. It just sounds great.
The blue channel is certainly where I'd spend most of my time, and that's the important one for me. Shame about the plexi mode would have maybe preferred a not so clean clean channel, but hardy a deal breaker.
If they were £900 Id have one already, they are just so much money for a 'little amp' but I'm weakening by the minute!

I’ve only played the smaller Friedman heads. Found them a one (good) trick amp whereas the Bogner covers all those sounds and more in the Blue channel.
Blake’s demos did sell me on it as well, although in some ways I think the amp in the room is a bit more open whereas his demos are really saturated.
I once A/B’d a DSL401 against a Friedman Runt. I actually preferred the DSL. Marshall make some good amps. They just tend to either need to be used at arena volume or generally lack some practicality.
