My thoughts exactly. About a year ago I upgraded from DC's to the Bose X using their 0% payment plan and it was definetly worth it. You'll notice right away when the headset doesn't feel like a clamp on your head during your 4th flight of the day. Additionally it felt like a good investment in my hearing for later in life. With the new A20 coming out I'm sure a lot of gently used X's could be had for $500ish range.
