Now I fixin' to try some 17 XT.For some reason, just not comfortable throwing 20 B/G, since I'm Old School and use mono on all my reels.

You will not be breaking it easily I can assure you. CX is a Fluoro coated line and it is thin. You need CXX not CX. Trilene 17lb XT is also really strong.

You tried the Fluoro coated CX line it is not nearly as strong. Also Trilene 17lb XT is really strong too.
