Don, I've got a good friend who's a BMW/Porsche dealer parts manager. He's always said good things about the X5, little problems noted. However, he just got back from a big national
Cayenne intro for parts and service people and is raving about
it. So, maybe wait a few weeks and drive the X5 and the Cayenne and make a decision. I do know that Porsche used the X5 as a benchmark in their development. At first they purchased a Jeep Cheroke and installed their engine and drive-train in it before they had a body to test. They soon dumped the Jeep and concentrated on the X-5 for their development.
Either way, you won't make a mistake.
