it all boils down to preference. everyone has a different story to tell in regards to which one they think is better. personally, your best best would be to go to a place like best buy or the sprint store and play with the pro. hold it it in your hand, play with the keyboard, just see how it feels to you. i had the diamond and loved it outside of the heating issue, then i went ahead and upgraded to the pro because i love the physical keyboard. the thickness really wasnt a factor to me at all and mine was well built. i have yet to really add any tweaks to it as of yet since this thing amazed me right out of the box. the screen sensitivity was perfect, the volume was cool, and there was no lagging whatsoever when switching from portrait to landscape when sliding out the keyboard. all in all its just about what u prefer so i suggest playing with it first and that should help u better in your overall decision.
