I'm pretty much at that point too. At first I didn't care for the grayish appearance of the whole screen "lighting up" with Moto Display notifications at night, especially when compared to the 2014 Moto X, but you know what? It's actually easier on my eyes at night, and now I've gotten to where I like it. I don't have any overheating issues (use GSam to monitor), and after a week of owning it, battery life has been great for my needs. I get through the day easily. I'm getting close to 4 hours screen time, which is plenty for me. It's important to note I'm what I would consider a moderate user and I have a terrific signal both at home and at work. The speakers are so much better than the 2014 Moto X, which was a nice surprise but most importantly, and I can't emphasize this enough - the camera is much better than that on my 2014 Moto X. I'm able to take decent photos without having to take multiple shots. I thought the bigger size and heavier weight would be an issue, but I can still fit it in my pocket (just barely), and it feels great in the hand. In short, for me, it's the best Moto X yet. Now if I could just get Amazon to speed up delivery of that Cimo back cover and the screen protector I ordered.
