New Phone Time! Help Me Decide!

Well I am eligible for a phone upgrade and got the TP2 via a insurance upgrade for I'm going to be running 2 phones that I can switch anytime I want through sprint.com/pcs.

My question to you guys is this out of the Hero, Pixi, Pre, and the BB Tour which one should I get?

Reasoning for getting each phone:

Hero:
  • Android
  • Capacitive Touch Screen
  • Roller Ball
  • HTC Device
  • Flashing doesnt make you lose all your settings, files, etc...
  • Seems to be updated more frequently than Windows
Pixi:
  • I like the "Candy Bar" aspect of it (would be a everyday phone for simple browsing and texting)
  • Capacitive Touch Screen
  • WebOS
  • Neat charging interface/method
  • SLIM
  • Lightweight
  • No one seems to have it
Pre:
  • WebOS
  • Capacitive Touch Screen
  • Neat charging interface/method
  • Faster Processor than Pixi
  • Doesnt seem to slow down when multi-tasking
  • Themes seem to be pouring from the heavens
BB Tour:
  • Durable
  • Roller Ball
  • Seems to have a interface I could live with (I know I cant do much with a BB)
  • Never had a BB before
I AM a tweaker, I love modding/tweaking/skinning/flashing my TP2. However, I wouldn't mind have a phone that just is good to go out of the box. I've seen videos on all these phones and I am particularly impressed with the Pixi and Pre's WebOS and screen rotation times. I am worried about their keyboard sizes though. The Hero looks great but just seems like I would want to tweak it but really cant do much with it, thus leaving me frustrated.

Opinions guys? I am about to do this if I cant come to a solid decision soon...
