LG VX-8550 Chocolate

One of my family share lines is eligible for a new phone and I was debating between these two phones. I currently have the enV but it's getting a lot of scratches on the front screen, to the point where some stuff is difficult to see. I wanna give it a lil rest b/c I want to keep it for the 2 years. I understand that the chocolates will be prone to the same thing but at least the phone I love will be somewhat protected. Based on the people that OWN either one of these phones or both, please tell me which one to get. Thanks!! Mind you I know the enV is great that's why I wanna preserve it (in a way). I only have til saturday to figure this thing out!!!
