The xB cost a few thou more, and if memory serves also claims a slightly lower mpg although the cargo capacity is greater. The Cube...I hava a lot of respect for nissan in general, but I just can't do it. I do regard styling as much lower priority than whatever performance or service characteristics I'm in the market for in the moment; that having been said I draw the line at significant asymmetry. The Transit, matrix and element were out of my price range as well.
If I'd bought a different vehicle than this, I would have gone for comprable price on an upgrade a few years broken in. Maybe a matrix, but ultimately the "new" won out.
I haven't thought of removing the rear seats, but I am now. The ones on the old scion were always folded.
