It depends where you live and the topography of where you drive. If you drive on lots of hills, the XI is a totally different animal than the i, even if you are running A/S on the XI compared to snows on the I (for going up of course).

I live in area that gets between 350-450 inches a year depending on elevation and it is in the mountains, so an I is worthless in the winter even with snows. I would end up putting on chains all the time. The XI with snows is a must in snow country. New York varies so much in both topography and the amount of snow. If you are a flat lander, the I with snows would be fine.
