Which X11 for A/UX 1.1.1 or 2.0?

I'm looking into setting up A/UX 1.1.1 with X windows on a Mac II
connected to our Suns over Ethernet. While I'm anxious to use A/UX
2.0, I need this thing running soon and can't wait for summer (plus
there's the free upgrade).
My question is with regards to X windows. I understand the X11
release for A/UX does not work concurrently with Mac applications
under A/UX 2.0. Under 2.0, MacX seems the way to go. However, MacX
doesn't exist yet and if I buy X11 with A/UX 1.1.1, I'll have to get
MacX later.
1) If I had MacX for 1.1.1, would it run concurrently as a Mac
program?
2) Any ideas when MacX will really be available?
3) Is there any reason to use the X11 "true Unix" version over MacX,
under either system?
4) Under either system, if a program asks for a window larger than my
screen (I'll be using a 13inch RGB), is the window made to fit, or do
I have to resize it myself?
5) Lastly, just for the sake of comparison, how does using either X
product compare to using Sun's X11 windowing system that I'm now
using on a Sun3 in terms of speed?
Thanks for any help.
