Have an X7, which is my wife's car, I am getting my iX this fall. We "need" both, sometimes we need the extra seats, but generally when I go to work, I don't need all the extra seats and want a car for me which can still pick up the kids. I think the iX is a modern minimalist interior which is very comfortable without frills, and the X7 is plush in a more traditional frilly way. Neither are bad, just different.
* update *
Having now received my iX, my desire to drive my wife's X7 has dropped to near zero. I wonder why when I push the accelerator that it does not just go. The X7 is solid and relatively powerful, but it pales compared to the iX. It has really only been 10 days, but I cannot see going back to ICE, the iX fills 99.5% of my usage. If I travel long distance with the family, we probably take the X7 anyway for the space plus cargo with a family of 5. The interior of the iX is awesome, and I don't miss the buttons. I am still learning how I want to interact with the car and driving it, but every press of the accelerator puts a smile on my face. That to me is worth all the pennies (probably 2 tons of pennies) spent on this car.
