(less pixles and less colors on the Hero) Or am I just a noob and I missed something? Yes I know the Hero screen is bigger.

HERO LCD (Color TFT/TFD)
320 x 480 pixels
3.2"
Colors: 65,536 (16-bit)

Touch Pro LCD (Color TFT/TFD)
480 x 640 pixels
2.8"
Colors: 262,144 (18-bit)

My source is the phonescoop comparison page.

nope you are right. I'm using a pre right now (same resolution and screen size as the hero) and you can definitely tell the difference (haha I actually just tweeted about this). The difference isn't as bad as say when you compare it to the original touch (qvga)...but things definitely look pixelated when you look closely. some examples: on my diamond I can usually read the txt on websites without zooming in, but I have to zoom in to read them on the pre (txt looks blurry). Movies on my diamond looked amazing, on the pre you can definitely see the pixels. but despite this I'm still going to pick up a hero too next month. now I just have to figure out how I'm going to split my usage time between my diamond, pre and hero.
