Ok, well I'll throw in my 2c then FWIW - I have a LA101 and I've shot it more than any of my other rifles (mostly rimfire silhouette and associated practice) - it's a weirdly shaped thing, but now I have actually fallen in love with the tall european style comb - it is my favourite stock out of all my rifles - feels like slipping on an old pair of perfectly fitting shoes when I shoot it. So much so, I want to make custom, similarly-shaped walnut stocks for my other rifles!
Now in saying that, I also have a tikka t3 CTR, which I also shoot a lot (also mostly silhouette practice) - it has a little built-in cheek riser - which I feel is really important for cheek-weld consistency. It's also an amazing rifle; but If i had to pick, from an ergonomics perspective, I guess I like the shape of the LA101 slightly better. These are easily the two most accurate rifles I own.
When it comes to the t1x; I'm not sure whether it has that cheek riser - in saying that, per design, the action profile is the same as all the other tikka x's - so stock interchangeability is abviously one of its selling points. If you get the t1x, you could easily change/upgrade the stock down the track.
