Most probably your wife did not like 4.8is because of its rough ride. 4.8is is a performance car and does not have a cushy ride if thats what she is looking for.
I have driven both the new X5 and MDX and prefer the handling of X5. The new MDX has changed a lot from previous one. Much better SUV than before. Its a tough choice. If your wife does not care about handling and performance than MDX is the car for her. Keep in mind MDX is cheaper and has no free maintenence. Oil changes on Acura are $40 but scheduled maintenence visits costs upto $500.
Also, Acura has one of the best navigation and voice command listings.

Are you sure about comfort access? Acura introduced comfort access with their 2005 RL when BMW had no comfort access in any of their cars.
