I'm thinking of buying cannon xL1 or Sony vx2000. Leaning towards the sony, can anyone explain the advantages of the cannon's ability to change lenses?

If you're looking to impress clients with the size of you're camera, the XL1 is great. If you're new to video, I'd take the 2000. I love mine, but I've had Sony cams since 96 so I am partial. The XL1 has great progressive scan mode. It's beautiful but as for the lens'.... those things are expensive! I didn't have the cash to shell out... but if you've already got adaptable camera lens, the XL1 may be an option for you.
If you're looking for a low light camera, the VX2K kicks ass, the best.
