I may be getting old, but I do know the difference between the 16x and the 20x lens. ;o)

We're at sea level. Our coordinates are:
Latitude: 25° 47' North
Longitude: 80° 13' West

I am thinking - what aspect ratio are you shooting on your XL2 then? 16:9 or 4:3 - the magnification you get at 4:3 is higher than 16:9 - because of the way XL2 screens its CCD. If I shoot the moon using 16:9, it won't overlap the frame edges - unless I use the 20X zoom with XL teleconvertor as well. Setting the aspect ratio to 4:3 - I can see the moon touching the top and bottom of the frame on my 20X zoom.

Shooting in 4:3.
