OP says money isn't an issue, so the "future proof" angle is probably irrelevant to him. He probably won't be sitting on either phone 2 years from now hoping for continued updates.

You could also try Our Groceries. It's a grocery app but you can sync it across phones. I sync my DX with my wifes bb. You can use any kind of list you want, not just groceries. It updates pretty much instantly.
Are you rooted? I had this issue. You have to go to the system folder with root explorer or something similar and either rename or delete mms.apk. Or you could freeze it with titanium.
Hey we ready, did you ever load the build props? I'm wondering if they load similar to themes (i.e. Without wiping my data). Also was it worthwhile if you did?
Also were you on soul seek?
