As said before, if people like a certain phone more than the other no problem! 
However a bit more detail/info as to why that is the case and not just "oh it feels cheap, light" etc. would be nice, like the way you explained above as opposed to your last post.
I like the galaxy nexus more than the GS 2 due to stock android, the JESUS SCREEN! Official google phone, yet quite a few people much prefer the GS 2 because it has a slightly better camera, slightly better GPU, SD card.
However what I don't get is that you know there is a better mobile on the market for not much more and is better in every way except "perceived quality" and the stock software can be discussed about non-stop as they are both good in their own ways.
And "build quality" is very different to "perceived quality", there is no denying that the GS 2 has much better "build quality" than the sensation whilst the sensation has better "perceived quality".
And what happens if you are out one day walking down the street and you pull your mobile out of your pocket and accidentally drop it onto the hard concrete ground? Unless you have a case, the sensation is going to get battered a lot more due to the build quality, materials used than the GS 2.
More RAM, greater multi tasking and would be more useful on the HTC mobiles since sense uses a lot of resources.
As for speed/smoothness, yes speed/snappiness wise they are more or less the same, however the GS 2 is without a doubt buttery smooth in everything where as with the sensation, it isn't one bit especially when web browsing. And this is very important to me personally and is one of the reasons why the iphones are very popular as well.
However when you post this:
That gives the impression that there is virtually no difference between the 2, when that really isn't the case at all, not just from my point of view, but many other people, not just on this forum, but a lot of others and according to pretty much all the expert reviews and plus you could have worded it better.
And there is a difference in real world, the stuff that I listed you notice just by daily usage. Benchmarks I don't care about etc.
And yes I know that is a couple of the main reasons why you didn't get the GS 2, however personally for me even if my main uses were the same as you (and most of them are) and after having had a play with both devices for more than 5 mins, I honestly could not take a sensation over the GS 2, maybe if I weren't as tech minded like the majority of us here and just an average joe then the sensation would appeal to me more due to the sense UI looking all fancy and colourful etc.

, but when the HTC S and GS 2 were pretty much new iirc the difference in price for paying out right was only like £20 or something, so not "much cheaper" and were the contracts for the HTC S not actually dearer than the GS 2?
