As far as interior space, I test drove an Edge once (I'm 6'2" and 230 pounds fyi) and height-wise and legroom-wise it was fine, but the width wasn't quite enough. Granted I'm a little claustrophobic, but the center console/armrest area/dash console were all just a little too close for my comfort. I gotta say the 4Runner (I drove my sister's '06 4Runner a whole lot in SoCal) takes it in the interior room department. Great for distances (drove to San Diego and back, two hours one-way) and everything else, very comfortable vehicle. So I'm not sure what the argument there is. Anyway, yeah I'd definitely go w/ the Edge simply because you're looking for a daily, and you'll probably appreciate the interior touches on a regular basis as opposed to what the FJ doesn't have. And it doesn't sound like you'll do any kind of real off-roading, more like not driving on asphalt every now and then (and if anything I'm sure you know someone w/ a truck for those rare occassions).
