Nothing good comes easy.  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
After many months of piecing together a XP 807 I can say it is not a 2 day job. Mine came in 3 boxes UPS'd . Lots of hardware and nuts and bolts. Thanks to many here with manuals and emails, it is up and appears to be a great antenna. It would be nice if Mr. Sommer had made a boom support as part of the original boom hardware. You MUST support the ends while putting it up. Some aluminum fr Home Depot, & some Phillystan as line, and it can be fabricated fairly easily. It takes a little up and down the tower to tune, but as KM4GQ said- it is worth it. If you can find one in good shape I would grab it. Sorry to see Elf Sommer is SK, he built a great performing multi-band HF antenna.
