They have 8 slots instead of five, which makes them more versatile than the original PC 5150. They don't have a cassette port, but nobody is perfect - only the PCjr and the original PC can brag about that.
The XT-286 is interesting, but it's a compromise. You get the faster CPU and system performance and it is faster than an AT at the same clock speed because of the zero wait-state RAM. But they didn't last too long .. they were late in the PC series and the clones wiped them out.
