you need to double check what you are getting because the xl does not even have usb.
if it does indeed have a card reader, great. next hurdle is going to be interfacing with a computer - if you are on mac you can pretty much forget it, its not gonna work (i've tried all the software to fix this and none of it has worked for me - i use my mpc card strictly with windows xp - i think some people have it working, just sharing my experience).
another thing you have to watch out for is filenames. if you ever name your files anything longer than 8 characters, you will destroy it when you plug it into a computer.
so again - if all those caveats sound good to you, go for it. but dont say i didnt warn you
