I guess the answers to the questions you pose depend on what you want to use a ppc for.
In simple terms the x5 is a faster machine with a bigger memory, but of course nothing is that easy!
You can configure any of the machines (starting with a basic model) and therefore 'upgrade' the basic spec.
Ask yourself "what will I use this for now? What am I likely to want from it later?
If you want mobile communications, will you need, Wifi, Bluetooth or infrared?
if you want to play games, do you want a faster processor?
If you're likely to add lots of additional software, you'll probably want the larger memory capacity (a mistake I made before I knew what you could get on these machines!).
Do you need the cradle or will a USB sync cable better meet your needs?
If you want the machine as a PIM (personal information manager) a basic machine is cheaper and very effective.
There's no right or wrong answer, it depends on you. I use the X3, it's fast enough (for me) but I wish I'd had more memory.
This probably ain't much help, but I wish I'd thought as carefully when I chose my X3! I'd still have bought a Dell though!
