Is that actually your handwriting or does OneNote smooth it out for you? Personally, I want to wait for touchscreen technology in tablets to get really good in terms of multi-touch inputs up to 10 fingers along with palm rejection when using a stylus. Until then, I'll stick with a keyboard and mouse. I personally don't like Windows 8 for a standard keyboard-mouse setup but can see its usefulness for tablets. What I do like is that it will drive innovation in the touch-panel markets for PCs and stylus technology.

I believe that's his handwriting. OneNote doesn't really change your handwriting, as far as my admittedly-limited experience with an X201t went.

The Thinkpad X-series tablets with multitouch disable the touch layer when using the pen digitizer (when the pen is within a certain distance of the screen), so I don't think palm rejection is an issue.

I've found my palm still activates touch when I lift up my pen for a second (on my X230t). I just disable finger touch when I go to take lengthy notes, then turn it back on later. No big deal.

I do have the multitouch. I wouldn't say the outdoor model isn't better at all because once you turn off the finger touch on the multitouch model, it's the same thing. With the outdoor model, you can never use your finger, so that's not good (for Win8 at least).

I like to have options.

The outdoor screens on the X220/X230 tablets are not nearly as good as they were for the X200 and X201 tablets. Gorilla glass is probably the main benefit you will get, and of course better viewability outdoors, but others can attest to feeling worse off choosing the outdoor over the multitouch.
