Root LG Enlighten a downgrade rather than successor?

From what I have seen about the Enlighten, it seems this phone fits in a lower end slot than the Ally did/does. Lower resolution screen, no led flash, no upgrade in camera resolution. All I can find about the CPU is that it is 800mhz. I know this isnt released yet, but is this in the same family as the Ally CPU just a slightly higher clock speed?

I have seen articles saying the Enlighten is sort of an Ally 2 in effect, but it looks to me LG moved it a notch downmarket.

Other than the fact that it will have Gingerbread stock, I see no reason for anyone with an Ally to want this phone, especially if Project Gretel is still alive.

Is anyone interested in this phone at all? I just dont see the sense in getting a 2 year contract for this free phone vs paying $100 or less for a used Ally and having no contract requirements. LONG LIVE ALLY!!!
