I don't know, I've liked the look of the devour much more than the droid even though the latter has a better screen and faster CPU.
Personally after seeing moto's front end for android I think I'd put the standard android home screen or slidescreen instead of moto's blur. Another point I appreciate about android, if I don't like the front end, I can choose any of half a dozen others.
