Is the touch really an upgrade to the 700wx

[2canSAM]

Currently using a Treo 700WX flashed with Windows Mobile 6. I am loving this thing, snappy and just works like I want. I am looking at upgrading to a Sprint Touch, but was wondering if this would really be an upgrade or not. I do not sync with an exchange server, only POP email and don't see myself using the GPS function too much. EVDO revA would be nice as I do a good amount of browsing and downloading podcast. My maximum budget is 250.00 so the diamond, treo 800w and touch pro are out. I previously had a centro and really miss the size of that phone. I just don't want to drop 250.00 and not be pleased.
