Right now there are more 450h+ than 350h Luxury on local dealer lot, and the 450h+ comes with higher incentives.
Buy the 450h+ if you have a need for speed. Else buy the 350h which is a much better value and easier to maintain (no need to plug it in). If you're OK with pure gas, why limit yourself to Lexus? If I was buying gas and money was no object, I would probably consider the Macan.

I tested the NX350, NX350h and NX450h. I drove the NX350 premium and Lux a number of times also. I even had the NX350h as a service loaner before that.
US brochure:

Our local Dealer has more NX350s then NX450hs but NX350hs are in short supply. I notice it varies from 5-12 cars over the month.
RX350 are overflowing their lots with around 40+. Doesn't sell as well as RX350h also. I drove the loaner RX350h and it wasn't bad at all but NX appears more fun to drive.
NX350 was great and I didn't notice any big turbo lag. It felt it has good power but the AutoStart/stop isn't my favorite feature. Per specs, ranges isn't that great if you have a lead foot also.
NX350h felt a bit more quiet inside and offered longer range but at the expense of less power than the NX350. I didn't mind the gas but didn't want to visit the gas station to spend time filling up.
NX450h (tested a pre-own one) Very nice vehicle but no ML and a higher price overall. Very quiet and smooth. I couldn't justify spending the extra $$$.
At the end, I have waited over many weeks for my NX350h LUX.

The reason is probably pricing. An XSE RAV4P is almost the same price as the base NX 450h+ in Canada, about 62k CAD. In the US the NX 450h+ is 10k more than a fully spec'ed RAV4P. The 60k USD for an NX 450h+ is about 80k Canadian, and competing much more closely with the Germans.

The ML sounds system is quite awesome on the NX350h also. If they had the ML on the NX450h, it may sway my decision also.

Waiting to see the 2025 US spec 450h+. Highly possible ML available in the US. Just my speculation at this time since pano roof is going to be available in Canada + ML on the executive package in Canada.
