X5 For Life

Hi,

I've had my X5 for a couple of years. I've got all sorts of attachments and gadgets to make it work for me. I check the posts daily and I was almost tempted to buy an X50V, but stepped back and took a deep breath; decision was "not yet ready."

What is the fascination with the X50V? Is it the feeling of having the latest/newest model? Am I alone in thinking that the X5 serves all of the same purposes, although I have to extract BT card and insert the WiFi card? Is the convenience worth the additional $250 (sell the X5 in exchange)?

How do you other X5 users think on this? Money isn't the issue; I'm wondering about the value added.

Does anyone else out there feel me on this? Holla back if you feel like it; it's all about fun.
