Here's the BD image:

Here's a discussion about X4s on Chockstone.

And here's Mountain Projects discussion & a photo comparisson:

Since you are building your first rack, it's probably going to be more financially sensible to get a set including larger gear. You still haven't mentioned if you have any other trad gear.
From Rock Hardware website:
SET of 6 "C4" Cams and 6 matching wire Gates.
Camelots sizes .4, .5, .75, 1, 2 & 3 and "Neutrino" 6 Pack. (That means a biner for each Cam)
N/B N/B Substantial price rises in JAN 2016! ~~$602.65~~ $485.00

*You said you have used small gear - so maybe see if they can do some kind of deal incorporating some of the X4s as mentioned - or drop the size 3 for a .3

Good luck.
