The X5's biggest benefit is hopefully one you never have to use, which is a user-replaceable lens. Right now, if a lens gets scratched, your only choice is to send it off to Insta, pay $130 (X4's cost, not sure about the others), and wait up to 2 weeks to get it back. Yes, there are lens guards, but I found that on both the X3/X4 in snow, they'd always have a droplet of water that just clings onto the guard, ruining the shot, and/or they fog up. Don't have any problems in the snow if the lens guards are removed

Bare in mind, I had been using Insta360 X2 (with only 5.7K) for years, and I would rather use X2 than a 4K Go Pro on vacation. Having assurance that I can capture the moment and subject of interest is better than having a higher resolution video with a sub-optimal shooting angle and a likely chance of missing the subject entirely.

Is it worth the extra $120 to get the X5?
Will only be using it as a travel camera, not really for extreme sports...
