Never seen the back pack. It would have to be refilled to often. the xjet pulls around 40%. Other than delavans the xjet best you can get up there. The only other option, to kep from running chems through the pump is upstreaming. That 20% at best. Hope this in the paid section, lol!!!

X-jet is a big time waster. I experimented with it and I didnt like it at all. You can allegedly get a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 which is enough to start burning some landscape. Like most of us here I have washed thousands of house. The Super Suds Sucker from Envirospec works the best. No back packs or buckets. 4 banger tip 0040 and 1540 to draw, 0012 and 1515 to rinse using a 3800 at 4gpm.

The downstreaming x jet thing has been going on a long time ago. Both seem to work? Its personal preference. The x jet puls stronger chems. I personnally like that, like roof washing!

Neither one is better than the other.

 Dont know if it been out that long, you got the original. The m5 has an adjustable fan tiip versus the screw in. You loose 5 feet in distance, the m5 is a must have!

      I have the m5, like it. Carrying a pail is a bit of a pain;  I could see some advantage to downstreaming, like not carrying a pail.  On the other hand, waiting for the soap to clear out of the line downstreaming is a pain too.
