Instead, cockpit instruments on X-Plane are way more smooth than FSX's.
Airport lighting in X-Plane is also very good, but FSX has just what is needed.
About weather, both can download real weather from the internet, both can make a "wind tunnel"...
An scenic tour from Cuatro Vientos on a cessna can cost more than 500€. Thats more than what i earn in a month! And i doubt the pilot would trust me enough to let me stall his plane...

That is a tour. You need an airport that will train. They will do your first flight for relatively cheap to get you hooked. And you will be the one flying most of the time, if not all the time.
SB like FSX, but after growing up with aircraft in the family, I can tell you that X-Plane is a more valid experience for the actual flight. Cockpits are modeled better in FSX though. So I have to agree with you, in a way, they can't be compared. It depends on what you are looking for.
