I've owned both of them, & sold the Tak LE 7.5 in favour of the XW 7. The Tak is an excellent eyepiece, but the greater comfort & FOV of the XW won out for me too.
One slightly cheaper alternative: you might be able to find a used Pentax XL 7mm (the model that preceded the XW). The FOV is slightly narrower at 65 degrees, but a fine eyepiece nonetheless.
