The XL2, while "technically" obsolete, will let you leave the nanny modes of operation and let you learn how to "make" a shot, not just "take" a shot.
SD still has a few years of life left in it, while HD equipment will probably go through so many changes in the next few years that anything you buy today will be considered "quaint" in a few months.
Just my take.

Yes Martin exactly what's been going around in my head ..I do believe SD has at least 3 more years left.
And I am so use to shooting with all the XL series.
But that Scarlet cam from RED is buzzing around my head.... I doubt if I can wait that long for it....
The reason I need to get one is I never have a camera to practice with...so I go into a shoot with whatever I can get from a friend......nerve racking sometimes especially with all the buttons on each camera....what a headache....
thanks for the rest of the replies from the members I'll let this sink in for a week.....
