I went from the 1st ed 3g to the touch nook. The things you listed as cons are some of the reasons I switched. I never used the browser, games or music player. I tried each one to see what it was like and then ignored them. I prefer the darker background (I actually had a matte skin on my 3g model).
I haven't had a problem with ghosting or fingerprints, so can't speak to those issues.
It's definitely a matter of preference. I like that it is a clean, simple e-reader, nothing else.
