I think in switching from the M13L to the X10E, you actually did yourself a big favor by revealing issues with biting and pinching that the narrow-tipped M13L let you get away with.
You have a golden opportunity right now--using the gear you already have--to address and unlearn faulty technique, because the X10E won't tolerate your incorrect approach. Figure out how to make it work, and you'll save yourself a lot of grief in the future.

My professors were also very non-committal in recommending equipment, and, in fact, would also chide us for making constant changes to our setups.
When we came forth with a setup that they deemed "good enough", we were supposed to stick with it and, with tenacity and ingenuity, learn to extract every last little bit of musical potential out of whatever gear we had at hand.
We were also reminded--constantly--that we'd be someday teaching students playing less-than-ideal equipment, and they'd need our guidance to address the gear-related challenges they were going to face.
Imagine, for a moment, the excellent guidance you could offer your future students after you solve the puzzle of the X10E...
