Just wondering if anyone is upgrading from their 7+ to an X or XS?

Battery is degrading, screen is broken, storage is too small and the plus is actually too big for me. I was hoping to upgrade to the XS for £899 but now that it's still £999 I've actually been thinking of going for a new X which should cost something like £750.

I don't take pictures/videos, play games or do anything remotely intensive. Just listen to music, use maps, browse internet / watch videos. It would be a very obvious choice if FaceID was the same speed but I personally have seen the X and find FaceID too slow as I use Apple Pay a lot. The only thing that appeals to me about the XS is the improved FaceID speed.

What would people recommend I go for?
 
I have a 7+ and am going for a XS max. I've gotten used to the size and bigger battery.
