Sorry, it's another one of those threads. According to this site: http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/nikon-d500/sd-and-xqd-card-speed-test/, the SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s SD card can do 85 shots continuously in the D500 in raw. I have a D500 but am still waiting for the Sony XQD card from B&H. For folks who use the XQD card in the D500, have you actually shot 200 shots continuously? It seems to me 85 is more than plenty. I know more is better and everyone has different needs, but the 64GB XQD card is 3 times the price of the 64GB SD. Since I don't use the SD slot as backup, I am beginning to wonder if I would do fine with the 95MB/s SD cards.
Please enlighten me. Thank you.

If the SD card works fine for you, then that's what counts. Don't buy a XQD card just because others say it's the future or feels faster. If the SD card is fine, then stick with it. At some point if you feel the need to use the XQD card, then buy it at that point, and hopefully by then they no longer cost 3x the price of an SD card.
SD cards have lot's of advantages, especially if traveling at all.
