z11 is supposed to have a metal unibody, too.

as always, design is a subjective matter, and i quite dig the almost bezel-less design of the nubia. also, it's more compact and lighter than the z7, has an ir blaster, and i'm perfectly fine with the 1080p display, too. it's easier to the cpu and the battery. the z7 has a bigger battery and the amoled should be more power efficient, though. and you're right about the price, too. looking at the specs, it's hard to pick one even of these 2 phones. software wise, they should be similar. i'd like to have a cyanogenmod/aosp/rr release for my future phone, and these 2 won't supposed to get it, so i might look elsewhere.

Haha true.
The software seems indeed to be their biggest drawback. Maybe the XDA forum could help you in due time to replace the stock rom?
