I would say the XL falls somehwere inbetween the 1512 and 1515. I say that because imo the 1512 is easily superior to the L size motors but I don't know that it's quite the "equal" of an XL. The 1515 is probably a notch above an XL. I guess the efficiency just lets the Neus do more work for their size....
You know my advice (I think?) is the 1515 1700kv... that's what I have in my truggy. I like the fact that it can be geared tall enough to be fast on 4s but also should be well suited to a 6s lipo setup on a lower gear.
That's not to say the 1512 can't do just as well... but I haven't actually run my 1512 in my truggy so I can't say. My guess is that it would be fine.
Once racing season is here in a few weeks I may try the 1512/truggy just to compare. If it works nearly as well then perhaps there is no real need to go to the bigger motor.
There was a guy here who ran a 1512 in a huge truck... it was a XTM Mammoth I think?? Anyway he was very happy with it.
