That isn't the diamond 2. It's been mistakenly called the Diamond 2. But, moving on from that, the Android Marketplace has just about anything you could possibly want from a cell phone. Plus, the customization of the device is nearly the same as with WM. Also, Sprint is going to charge an arm and a leg for the device. Based on the original TP/Diamond pricing combo, you will be paying $400, and getting a $100 MIR, bringing the device down to $300 (The Diamond was $50 less than the TP). This is assuming Sprint carries the Imagio (what you are referring to as the D2). I'll take multi-touch for $180, Alex. Plus, with the Sense UI on the Hero, this will make the switch from WM to Android very easy. I see a lot of WM users switching over to the Hero, and not regretting the decision.

Edit: Although, if Sprint carries the Imagio, the idea of putting SPB Mobile Shell on there, with their Sense UI theme would be enticing. I'd have to see it in action, however, to see if that route is worth it.
