On one side the both answers somehow go into different directs (I want it - I will use it). Because even if I want it, I might not use it. Next problem in the second option is that it sounds very odd in German. "I don't want to use this option." So what? You don't have to... By the way: which survey tool did you use? Please watch out for questions (and answer options) like this:

“Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie haben die Möglichkeit, beim Anlegen neuer Termine zwischen einer “Schnelleinrichtung” mit nur wenigen Optionen und der vollständigen Einrichtung mit allen Optionen zu wählen.
-Ja, ich will eine solche Schnelleinrichtung haben.
-Nein, ich will eine solche Schnelleinrichtung nicht nutzen.”
