Suggest going to GSM arena and clicking on the "compare" tab. You can see the specs of each side by side. I am biased since I own one, but I think the ativ s gives the most "bang for the buck".
 
BTW...the HTC 8x and Samsung ativ are really at a different level than the Lumia 520. If you can afford the HTC or Samsung you get a higher end phone.
 
Ativ S is not lower end device. I went from Lumia 920 to the Ativ S because I got approx 30% more battery life with the Ativ. Ativ is a great device and specially now that we have interop unlock for it. If that intrests you, you get cool functions like extra column of tiles and any accent color you want, just to name few. Normally I go for the greatest device, but atm Im still very happy with Ativ.
 
The price of 149.99 for the 520 is way HIGH, Amazon has it listed for 59.99$ and that is correct. I bought two of them

The $60 is for a locked ATT version; $150 is the normal price of the unlocked carrier free version.
 
I paid $66 for my 520 so you really can't compare the prices. The Ativ and 8x are a lot nicer phones but they cost a lot more. I thought you could just call at&t and get it unlocked. I could be wrong though.
