I'm going to get a new phone and due to finance reasons, I'm limited to buying a phone in price range of $150-$200. The closer to $150- the better. Anyways, I've narrowed it down to Blu studio 5.0S, (not getting the Blu Life Play) and the Motorola Moto G. you can do research on your own on gsm arena phone comparisons. But to sum it all up, the Moto G has a slightly better processor, lighter, more pixel density on the screen, lighter, customizable but no extra storage and google drive 50igs runs out after 2 years. The Blu studio 5s comes with a larger screen, clear picture quality( though significantly lower ppi- but with qHD and IPS....can't go wrong), fast processor, external storage. To me, these devices are equal. The tie breaker is which is the better devices when rooted. Because if I can root the device, then I could get a ROM that runs kitkat, then the android version won't matter to me. If you can do research and tell me which you would choose. But i'm really HERE FOR BLU STUDIO 5S ROOTS AND ROMS AVAILABILITY/TIPS!!!

Hello, Phelly! Welcome to AF! 
Looks like you have spent a lot of time thinking about this. I don't blame you a bit.
I really get in to my phones too.
I think that you would be doing yourself a favor if you made your post in this area of our Forum, Device/Carrier Comparisons - Android Forums as the folk there seem to be interested in the kind of details you are concerned with.
One of us could move this post there for you, if you wish, as well.
Be sure and check here, http://androidforums.com/studio-5-3-s-all-things-root/787262-studio-5-3s-guide.html
I didn't really see a lot for the Moto G, if I was even looking in the right area?

The moto X is a great phone for people who just want there phone to "just work"

It is a great phone, good specs, not necessarily the best, but they get the job done.

I have a Moto G arriving hopefully today, but just about every review I've read says it's a no-brainer to buy at that price point. Also, it's confirmed to be getting KitKat sometime next month.
The Blu has an ancient GPU, week screen but an SD card slot. Processor isn't something I've heard of though.

My vote is for the G, for pretty much the exact same reasons that breadnatty08 mentioned. I've also been hugely impressed with Motorola's approach as of late - they're following Google's lead and unbundling a lot of their "special" apps from the firmware so that they can be updated through the Play Store.
