Droid MAXX or Moto X?

I may be getting a bunch of money, and I'm considering upgrading my phone. Since I recently got my RAZR M (which I wouldn't retire, I'd just use it for music, video, and other offline activities) I can't use an upgrade. For $474.99, I can get a 32 GB Moto X with wood back. For $499.99, I can get a Droid MAXX.
I know the Droid MAXX has a bigger battery (I could buy an external battery pack to use when I really need it) and wireless charging (which is a gimmick, IMO) and a bigger, though not higher resolution, screen (honestly, my RAZR M's 4.3 inch screen is more than big enough). However, I can customize the heck out of the Moto X (Yay ebony back) and it's cheaper. I'm leaning toward either doing nothing or getting the X. Am I missing anything that would change my mind?

EDIT: In case you haven't figured it out, I'm talking about Verizon here, and I can almost get two 2600 mAh external battery things for the price difference between the X and the MAXX without really looking, so the battery life considerations are almost moot.
