I have each on different bikes and personally, I would say they're in the ballpark of being the same - SON's beam pattern is a little better I think, but the light output has been comparable for my use (nighttime riding in the city mostly, so not pitch black very often). My gripe with the IQ-X has been that I find it harder to securely mount and not get bumped out of alignment - SON's metal mount is easier to secure. I don't know that I could say it's worth the upgrade unless your existing light is on the way out, or if you just like the look of the SON, which is valid! Me too!! Oh, the SON's on-off switch is pretty nice - but I am betting you leave yours on all the time anyhow like me :)
