HTC Touch (Vogue) Modified VS HTC Diamond

I have an HTC Touch from Alltel, currently running NFSFAN's WM 6.1 build with a lot of extras, the infamous Manila 2D, a new slider calling interface, etc. It looks and feels great -- even has a vibration/haptic feedback for screen touches. I love it.

I've never used HTC's newest Touch, the Diamond before. I've watched some videos and they look close. Let's face it, Manila 2D is pretty awesome. But let's hear from Diamond owners who got rid of their (modded) Touch/Vogue for the latest in sexy.

How do you like it? Was it worth the price? eBay has them (Alltel Diamond) going for about $410-$450. I paid $199 for my Touch a week ago. Your opinions are welcome!

I'm hanging on to my Touch until the Diamond2 hits. Then I'll look into upgrading.

I love my touch and I too am holdin out for the diamond 2. I tried the diamond but I returned it within 24hrs. Just couldnt see what the benefits were to replace my baby. She can do anything the diamond can do and I dont care if the specs say the screens are the same. My baby is a lil wider and she looks good with the black rubberized finish. I gotta stop Im gettin all excited.

Staying with vogue, at least until TP2 comes out .. and I get the $$ for it.

I might go with the Diamond soon, i guess we'll see if i want to shell out the cash for it. But i do want it because its VGA, Manila3D, accelerometer and plus because of all of the new RHODIUM and TOPAZ cabs and roms coming out.

Not sure if I'd benefit from the differences between M2D and M3D on a Diamond, but the accelerometer does look tempting, and I heard it has Wi-Fi which is something I miss from my Titan even if it gave me almost no battery life and got hot enough to cook breakfast with.

I have a 4GB memory card in my Touch right now, and Alltel is serving up a 4GB Diamond that's just calling my name. I'm going to wait it out though I think. At least until the used/auction price drops below $350.
