I was thinking the exact same thing last week.
galaxy nexus seems tempting with the new OS.

but then doing some research and survey, i'll stick with S2.

i'll answer your question on why you should stick with S2.

1. battery, nexus battery life is quite bad. the HD screen, but with just 100mah larger battery is not enough.
look at gsm arena battery life test, endurance rating, S2 (40hour) vs nexus (31hour),

look at browsing time, s2 can browse 4hour24mins vs nexus 3hour1min.
S2 video play back 8hours, nexus 6 hours.

2. camera, nexus has 0 shutter lag, can snap 10+ photo a second maybe, but the camera quality is quite bad.
not to say nexus has a terrible camera, but the S2 one is noticeably better

scale to 5mp and check yourself to see, S2 one can read the words at the ruler, nexus one become blur d.

3. memory. nexus only got 16GB, user available maybe just 12GB i think.
do a few cwm backup, maybe take 2GB each, one titanium backup also maybe 1-2GB. songs maybe 5GB, GPS maps maybe 1GB. installed apps 2GB. tada, noo more space. even if you cut down on songs, you still wont have enough space to transfer a movie inside to watch, whats the point of HD amoled if cant watch show? sure USB otg can help, but its really trouble some, based on experience. also, having cwm backup on the phone gives a safe feeling, anything screw up can straight restore. S2 can support memory card, buy a 32GB class 6 one, just cost rm125 only. now maybe cheaper.

these are the 3 solid reasons why i choose to stick with S2 in the end.

it depends, for me, Newer OS update is very important for me. For Sure, galaxy nexus will get newer OS again in january 2013. Nexus got larger display as well. For that kind of price (RM1200 - RM1300), Nexus is a better choice
