Personally - I picked the X because of a desire to try something new. Also, as a photographer, the new camera looks fairly impressive as well, in addition I expect the larger screen in a small form factor to enable me to use my phone for even more things - beyond that, its upgrade time for me anyhow, the price difference between a 256 gig iPhone 8 and iPhone X is effectively rounding error, as in, its not a significant amount of money for something I use every single day for so many tasks and activities.

Not to be one of those guys, buuuut... using T-Mobile as a carrier, the 8plus with 256GB is $949 and the X is $1149, which is 21% increase. You're still sepending around a grand though so I see your point.

I appreciate your reply. Thanks!
