What would you do?

Here is my situation. My original Moto Droid broke about a week ago. I go into Verizon to see what my options are and I find out that the best thing to do would be to upgrade (someone on my family plan was eligible). Ok. So, with no research, I had to make a decision. From what I saw, the Droid Charge was the best option. My biggest issue is that I was really set on having a dual core phone for this upgrade. I have another week to return this phone but I'm not sure if I should do that or not.
After tweaking the Droid Charge, I'm pretty happy with it. Very smooth, insanely fast 4g speeds, awesome screen, etc. However, I'm really tempted by the Droid Bionic. What I would probably have to do is return my Charge ($35 restock fee) and use my original droid for a while until the Bionic was released. Is this worth it?
How much of a difference will the dual-core make? How will it affect battery life? I've tweaked the Charge to the point where it lasts about 1 to 2 days on one charge. I get a feeling the Bionic may have much worse battery life.
To summerize, I'm pretty happy with the Charge. After tweaking, it is SUPER SUPER fast and amazing for gaming. But I feel like it is a "last gen" phone compared to the bionic. What would you do?

You should just stop being a little bitch about the whole situation

@ Jorge... if that is really all you wanted to post, then why bother posting at all? Unless you really are trying your best to be nasty to random people...
Calm down and be nice...

If I were you, I would hang on to what works... if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Charge is a decent phone; as far as dual-core phones go, the word on the street is that they chew up battery life so freakin' fast. If the Charge is working well for you, and is set up in the way you like it, I would forget the idea of returning it for the Bionic (which is currently an unknown quantity of sorts... untested by the consumers). But that is just me... you've got to do whatever your gut tells you is the right thing, but I have given you my two-cents if you are willing to take a word of advice from this old man...
Just the same, best of luck to you!

Keep the Charge. My advice to consumers is always hold onto a device that is working, just like hepresearch said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And just as they had said, bionic hasn't seen the light of day, and the release was held back due to functionality issues. Here's the thing, until the bionic has had about 2-4 months of usage time after being released (as the same with any other device), we really don't tend to see the quirks that the device does have.
