I think it mainly comes down to can you deal with the on-screen keyboard of the Hero. Go try it out in the store.
The capacitive screen helps with using the software keyboard because it has multi-touch; I found you can type faster on a software keyboard on a capacitive screen compared to the same sized screen of a resistive screen. The system doesn't get "confused" when you go too fast and leave off a key and begin punching your next letter.
Then again, the TP2 keyboard (for ME) is waaaaaaaaaaaaay faster. And the real estate is not something I am willing to tradeoff. YMMV.
