As for your question regarding X-plan; I'm not sure I can give you an exact figure, but as an example, on the order sheet for my GT Premium (MSRP for mine is $36705), the dealer invoice was $34266.60 (including $45.60 fuel charge and $486 Ford Dealer Advertising Fund fee [which from what I've heard is basically non-negotiable]). My price would've been $34404.53 under X-plan. Also, under X-plan, the only fee the dealer should charge you is a $75 MAXIMUM documentation fee. So, under X-plan, my particular GT would've been about $140 over invoice if I went that route. I suspect yours (which is spec'd similar to mine, but w/o HIDs and with 3.73s instead of 3.55s) if so ordered would likely be priced similarly above invoice.
However, just my two cents worth, if you do have an X-plan PIN available for use, use it as a last resort if you can't find a dealer who'll give you a good price; after basically getting several dealers in a bidding war for my order, I managed to have a dealer order me my GT for $300 UNDER invoice, and w/o dealer fees. But, X-plan is great if you want to can't find any dealers that want to give you a fair price, and/or if you don't want to deal with haggling/arguing with dealerships, or worry about any BS fees they might tack on.
Hope this helps!
