If the two systems are the only ones that need to be coupled, I see no need for XI or any other middleware right now. XI makes sense when you have many systems that exchange data with each other and if there is a nominal amount of workflows across systems. And don't think of ALE as "old". It is a prerequisite for XI to function seamlessly in conjunction with R/3.
