i think the TP2 is much better too. I used to think it wasn't worth it, but when I actually bought it (I did so because I had to switch to a Verizon plan, and therefore get a new phone), I was very VERY satisfied.
I don't have any complaints. I've flashed Mighty's rom on here, and I haven't been compelled to change anything else. Battery life is great for me, and I'm a heavy user (it's not uncommon for me to play a game while talking on the phone with my bluetooth headset for HOURS).
It may not look like much of an upgrade on paper, but I think you'll like what you get
