I do have a starter for X-Wing and it's fun, but I think I might get into the captial ship game instead. I'm going to wait until the full rules are available before deciding, though.
As I see it, X-Wing seems to be more fast-paced, and is all about the dogfight.
Armada is slower-paced, and is more of a naval battle with fighters providing air support.
Armada has a pretty hefty price tag, but it's also the system in which it might be possible that they actually release a playable Death Star. And that could be funnnn.
I'll dig you up some links.
One way or the other, I feel for you. (Chaka Khan)
I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I've stepped away from Clix before and, at present, I can't come up with a good reason for why I haven't presently.
At my LGS, the guy behind the counter made some comment about how X-wing was a better game than Clix when we were all in line to buy our boosters for a sealed event, and he was expecting a "Oh, no; he di'n't!" moment. (He's a former Marine, and a hockey fan, so we go back and forth a bit.) All the Clix players agreed with him and it took him totally by surprise.
Good for you for waiting for Armada. Personally, scale (or SOME semblance of it) is a big deal to me, so it's not for me. But I'm glad they're making a game that's more about the aspects that you like. I hope it's as well balanced as X-wing.
You should swing by the FFG X-wing boards. There's some fairly entertaining nerd-rage. I'm both entertained and observing, and somewhat play-acting participating.
EDIT: I also went off on Star Wars Rebels on those boards and got called racist for my troubles and you know my day's just not complete without that.

What is your ID there, I am Norym and rarely post but I am there occasionally.

I post there a tad....but I don't want to hang out there too much. It's been said the best way to stop enjoying something is to visit it's fan forum.
