Craig,
There are only three main points I can see:
1. If you need room for people and cargo, the MDX surely is the winner.
2. If you like to seat high, the MDX wins.
3. If you like more SUV functions, like more off-road capability - higher clearance, then the MDX is better.
However, if you do not like to seat high, budget contraint and like to ride and seat like a sedan, then the Subaru is the clear winner.
You analysis is very exhaustive and meaningful. The decision is yours, based upon what do you value more.
Good lucks on your selection.
