i've been toying around with leds for a while, actually been working on led headlights. I'm also using the Cree XM-L for my setup. So far from my experiments, projector lenses are the way to go, don't worry about the reflector that comes with them. You won't need them with the cree emitter. Right now my setup for the low beam is 3 xm-l's, with one xm-l in the middle and two below it (like a triangle) and a cut off shield if front of them. I'm using a single 3 amp switching driver with led's wired in parallel. One problem I'm having is heat dissipation, another is light spill/beam pattern. I can get a tight spot beam but the spill is horrible and uneven.

currently waiting for some new xm-l's to replace the ones i've burned up. once their in i'll post some beam shots.
