Downgrading Rezound back to Droid X

After using the Rezound for almost 2 months, I'm contemplating going back to my Droid X. While I really like the Rezound, I have a soft spot in my heart for the X and I'm having a hard time parting with it.

The Rezound crushes the X in camera performance, screen clarity, and has 4G speeds. But, I'm not terribly impressed with 4G, the Rezound screen is already scratched because it doesn't have Gorilla Glass, and I've found several glitches which are not apparent in the X.

Another thing that bothers me is the price differential. Second hand pricing for the Rezound is around $300-400, but I can only get around $100 for the X (including car & desktop docks). In my opinion, the benefits of the Rezound do not justify more than triple the price of the X.

So do you guys think it's a really bad idea to downgrade your phone?
 
Phones are such a personal preference that if you truly love the X more and it does everything you want then it's not a bad idea to go back to it.
The two phones you're talking about have vast differences. Its the nature of Android to have so many choices and only you can decide what's truly best for your usage.
 
The DX is a good phone. If it only had an unlocked bootloader, I may have kept it longer.

I use screen protectors on every phone, including ones with GG, just because I'm paranoid and like the peace of mind.
 
That's the thing...I don't see such a vast difference between the two...then again, I'm not rooted on either device and I'm not a hardcore user...phone calls, texts, web browsing, some games, reading, etc. I actually like Sense alot, but I throw ADW on the X and get alot of the look and feel...
