Stick with Turbo or go Nexus 6P?

[pjd2011]

So I ended up cracking my screen, again. Luckily Verizon is replacing it as my first screen repair wasn't registered or they're just being nice.

However, when I thought I'd be dealing with a broken phone I started looking at new phones and would love the 6P.

If I stick with the Turbo I'll have a nice refurbed device but I'll have to pay the $25 for Sunshine again.

However, I should be able to get $200 for the "new" device via Swappa or Craigslist and save the $25 on Sunshine.

I could then get a nice new Nexus 6P for $425 via Best Buy's current promo with the gold or use Swappa and get a 64gb for $500. In a case the device should be able to hold resell value so when the new M10, Nexus, or whatever releases I should be able to continue upgrading every year for ~$100.

$300 for a new device really isn't too bad in my eyes especially when my line will be saving $25 a month on our current Verizon plan when I don't upgrade through them.

Thoughts?

So you cracked your screen for a second time and were able to use the free screen replacement that Verizon offers for a second time? The only reason I asked is I just cracked my 2nd turbo after using the free screen replacement last June and was wondering if I could get by using it again?
Sorry to be a little off topic but the only thing I know about the 6P is it appears to be a little to big but looks like a fine phone.

It's a big phone. My wife has the 5x and even that feels bigger, if lighter, in the hand. It will have a great camera though if that's your thing.

I should have asked this earlier but did you do the replacement through the verizon's website or did you take it to a store?
Thanks in advance.

If you're okay with the size, go Nexus. The size was the deal breaker for me.

Verizon's online chat client.


And yeah the size is definitely a turn off to me. Definitely thinking hard about this one!
