The XPS13 has a slightly lower spec for the processor (maybe, because it appears to be of slightly earlier stock - 8550U versus 8650U) but the specs are fairly comparable. The resolution is no doubt better for the XPS13. This configuration will cost me $700 more than the Latitude. Which I am willing to pay unless there are technical reasons for preferring the Latitude. The XPS13 is about a pound lighter from what I can tell.
My personal machine is an XPS 13 9370. My employer provides me with a Latitude 7390. Pretty close to the two models you're considering... Right now I'm waiting for a BIOS update for both, because the keyboard loses some key events and the fix is due out .. soon.
For my use, the two are extremely similar. I like the Latitude slightly better, since I'd rather have actual buttons for the mouse. I don't like clicking trackpads. Having some USB-A ports is useful, too. Other than that, there are no noticeable differences.
Your price note seems odd, though. My XPS cost about $850 , and a Latitude 7390 with similar specs was close to twice that much. If the Latitude were similar in cost or less expensive than the XPS, I'd have definitely purchased that one.
