Sprint Touch Pro or Verizon XV6850

[msdmsd]

First let me start by saying this is a great site with a wealth of information and I have been getting a great education from all of you who contribute here.

I have a dilemma that I'm hoping to get some help with.

I am a current Verizon customer with a terrible Moto Q that I can't wait to dump.

My dilemma is this: My new every two is coming up in January and I have have been following the Touch Pro for a while waiting for it's release. But now after much research I can't decide whether to buy the VX6850 and unlock/flash a new ROM and hope for good performance and hopefully an unlocked GPS that I can use with google maps OR pay more, get the Sprint TP and unlock/flash and setup for use on Verizon's network and get the added benefit of more RAM.

I guess my question is since the XV6850 has now been unlocked is there any added benefit in going with the Sprint TP? Or is there more risk due to the fact that I won't have a warenty or insurance if I use the Sprint TP on Verizon plus the extra cost of buying a phone with no contract.

All opinions are welcome and some plusses or minuses would be of real value.
