I agreed with you at first, the day they announced the Moto X. But now all the head-to-head comparisons are showing the X to perform either on-par with, or better than, the HTC One. Plus the X is a smaller form factor for the same physical screen size (since it doesn't have the two front-facing speakers of the One which I don't need). And it supposedly has better battery life, likely in part due to having less pixels to power (which again I don't need) and two less cores (which I obviously don't need if it performs the same or better for all practical usage). In short, I'm now leaning back toward the Moto X developer edition, which will have an unlockable bootloader.

EDIT: I should mention, the benchmarks I'm referring to are these:

And I swear I saw one with Sunspider et. al. benchmarks that more or less contradicted the benchmarks in this article.
