to answer your question. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the touch. Some sales persons (including me from time to time) just think people should buy the latest and greatest no matter what but at the same time real people have budgets. the other thing that i can think of is that the sales person may get paid more for selling a higher priced phone.
as for your options, I'd say call customer service and order a touch, as much as i love my mogul i would say buy a new touch over a used mogul
