I've been looking at certified pre owned X7 vehicles for a few months, now. I'm 90% sure we've found one. It has captain seats in the back. My wife loves that and it's for her, so I'm for it. She feels like it gives an upscale look and feel and she likes upscale. As if the X7 wasn't upscale enough, anyway… but I digress… I could personally make an argument for either. It's a coin flip for me. The third row folded down gives enough cargo space for us.

I will offer one observation from experience and hopefully this isn't redundant because I haven't read the whole thread. I had 2nd row captain seats on a Yukon before. The cargo complaint I had isn't about folding the 2nd row. But the gap between them will allow things in the cargo area to roll or shift forward between the captain seats if you have to slam on the breaks. You lose that solid separation between cargo and passenger areas.
