BLU Studio 5.5 - user opinions and reviews

I purchased a Galaxy Note II and used it for 1yr before cracking the screen. (Nothing harsh it fell with no force 2ft flat on the face in a dual plastic/silicone protection case) Instead of fixing screen I bought a BLU studio 5.5 physically 99% identical.
1. The Gorilla glass of the Note II is good I am sure but this damage is what I would have expected from an econo purchase. My New BLU 5.5 is slippery and yes it did a tumble from about the same height and the funny thing was it 'sounded' well built i had no doubt that it was not damaged before looking at it - amazing since it was half the cost of my note II.
BLU is more responsive, when i click on something it happens on the BLU plus the side buttons are not sunk but not in the way or are pressed by accident. Now I did install KKlauncher on my noteii that may have slowed reaction times down but there is a definite edge to the BLU for everyday apps (phone,contacts,email,messaging) - tru GPS apps are slightly slower but hardly noticable.
I kept the BLU factory ROM because it worked so well. Almost all around I was happy with the BLU Studio 5.5 model to replace my note ii but here are the difference I give winning comparison to the noteII
things that mattered most to me:
1. Screen is more color realistic/true on the NOTEII
2. Brightness of the display is better OUTDOORS
3. Speaker mode is louder and refined on the NOTEII, but the BLU is very good too.
4. A pen on the NOTE II - i have used 4 times last yr
5. Out of the box, The NOTE II network conectivity is more constant, the BLU took some configuring to make it well but in the end it was just as good after tweaking it.
Thats about it and for half price I would recommend the blu studio s an alternate. Note though there are very few types of cases for it - many colors but all basically same molds and they are not that good i was thinking of getting a generic folder carrying case as the others are mainly plastic cheap and slippery.
oh and I have used a microcenter 32gb and 16gb SD class 10+ card with no issues for running apps or storing data and playing music.

I've had this phone since feb and i'm already looking into getting my Samsung back. this phone does not let you do routine updates like it's suppose to and it's always saying my sd card full when it's not. It won't let me half of what my s3 let me do. So i'm looking into the s5 or a note.
