I meet up last night with another local rider to view his xtz as I'd never sat on one,and had seen very few on the roads here. Yes ,I liked the bigger tank and other bits and bobs but I will keep and eye on their sale prices as I'd find it hard to justify almost double the price of the x and only moving up a few years,and unfortunately not even my local Yamaha dealer has no demo or for sale.
I have a Tenere as well and for me it's the better bike for distance, they are both great fun and both do what they were built to do, the Tenere is heavier, and turns a bit slower, but with decent road tires it will still corner reasonably well for the type of bike it is, I take mine Offroad so use TKC 80s for a bit more grip on the dirt, but it's the engines that make these bikes what they are, in a word Fun
