Trade Droid Inc 2 for Bionic?

I have an offer to trade my droid incredible 2 straight up for a droid bionic. Should I do it? Pros and Cons of the bionic over the incredible 2? I don't have 4g in my area but also hear that the performance is better on the bionic just don't know if i can go back to a moto phone over htc.

I haven't used an Inc2, but the obvious differences:

- Sense overlay vs. Moto's overlay - both are fine with me, but I think that Sense is more well thought out

- the Bionic is bigger with a higher-res display, though with a pentile display that many do not like. I like it myself - it's quite bright in even the brightest sunlight, and that's more important to me than whether there are display ghosting issues

- the Bionic has a dual-core CPU vs. single core for the Inc2, and has more RAM as well. Probably not that much of an issue

- The Bionic is not a "world phone", the Inc2 will never have LTE.

- I've always thought that Moto's radios were better than HTC's - they get usable signal farther from towers than HTC phones do, or so lots of people say.

- I have no idea how good or bad the Inc2 camera is; the Bionic's is decent in good light, not fantastic in low light

- LTE has been an issue several times in the last six months, with data dropouts that include no 3G for many hours at a time. The 3G network that the Inc2 uses has had no such nationwide outage on the same time period. Hopefully, these problems should be less frequent going forward
 
My wife has an inc2 and I like it but I still think my bionic is better. :) I think doogald pretty much summed it up but I would like to add that build quality is better on the bionic. My wife has a lot of scratches on the top part of her screen my bionic is flawless.

I would do the trade straight up even if I didn't have 4g in my area. At least when it does turn on, my phone will be ready. You can always turn off 4g on the bionic.
 
I've had (have) both. If you don't need world phone capabilities, the Bionic is for you.
 
If the trade is straight up, then i would do it. To get a dual core phone ready for 4g without having to sign a new contract is clutch!
