I think the X5 is very comparable to the cayenne, especially the 4.6. The X5 has unparralelled handlng that only the cayenne comes close to. But nothing can beat the feel of a BMW. I almost bought an X5 last spring, but decided to wait and test drive the H2. I'm glad I went this route. But I am a strong BMW fan, and always will be. The Volvo XC90 may look likke the X5, but it hadles horribly, like most volvos. It is dead and numb. The Cayenne, on tghe other hand, has very good handling that is comparable with the X5. They both drive like cars, and nice german cars at that. I don't know why you are pitying me, but that's too bad for you. I don't pity myself at all, quite the opposite actually.
regardless, the owners of either an X5 or cayenne would be stupid to take it off road on anything but the most basic of trails. They simply can't compete with an H2.
