Element vs. Outback. Advice needed.

Trying to decide on a smaller SUV/Wagen type vehicle. I prefer AWD and dependability is paramount. I also like a quiet highway ride. Price range is up to $10K.
I've narrowed it down to the Honda Element and the Subaru Outback wagon with the 3.0 H-6 (timing chain-no belt issues). Haven't driven either one. I like the looks of both for different reasons, the visibility in the OB seems better, the Element should have fewer problems just by being a Honda, fuel economy seems similar from reading reviews; routine maintenance should be less expensive on the Element as well.
Any thoughts? I'm not set on these two, in fact I considered an E320 4Matic Wagon but they are hard to come by with decent mileage. Feel free to weigh in since I'm open to suggestions and I have 4-6 months before purchase (unless a screaming deal comes along).
Thanks in advance!
