My only complaint after weeks with my Vive is probably more of a complaint with the overall VR market. There is simply not enough content.

There's plenty of content: Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, Elite and FSX alone could keep me happy until the next generation of headsets appear. When Dirt Rally finally supports VR again, you probably won't see me for months.
What there's not is much roomscale content that's more than a tech demo.

Thats a fair point, but personally i dont find any of those games particularly interesting. Id rather play the "tech demos", the feeling of presence and immersion is so good that i dont care that i am just shooting at blue boxes in Holo Point for example.

And that's really what it all comes down to: personal enjoyment. All the threads trying to predict the death of Oculus or the Rift or the death of VR altogether are childish and silly. Posts like yours seem a bit more fair and insightful. You and I had a similar experience; where I tried the Vive first and then went home to order the Rift. It's the nature of things - some of us like variety. And knowing that I can play the Vive or Gear VR whenever I want made it easier to own the Rift. And personally I absolutely love my choice.
The biggest difference I can see with someone who is happy with their Rift vs those happy with their Vive is this: Rift owners invite family and friends over to their house to experience a new wonder; Vive users go to Rift forums to talk poopoo.
It's strange, really.

The Vive is a very good choice, but I think the Rift is the better choice. The Rift is the better headset, and the Touch controllers will also be more refined than the Vive wands. The two camera Rift tracking system is as solid as the Vive's laser tracking. The only thing we are not sure of is the room size, and safety grid. That said a chaperone system is quite easy to develop, so we will have to wait and see what Oculus comes up with.
