To upgrade or not?

I am entitled to an upgrade at the moment but can't decide if its wise or to just cancel my contract.
I have an SGS2 on Vodafone @ £31 per month, that gets me 300 mins unlimited texts and 500mb data, I use at most 30 mins per month, send about 30 texts use about 400 - 500 mb data so a contract at £30 per month is not much use to me and I want the handset for free.
I could get a budget to mid range phone free on contract but would any of these beat the SGS2 spec wise?

As for phone wise, the SGS2 with 4.1.1 is about as good as it gets in the midrange category. However, a £31pm contract will get you the brand new SGS4 next month...
Buy a Nexus 4, get a sim only deal from Three for 10-15 a month.
Wait for the next Nexus (or similarly priced phone), keep my S2 until then & get a sim only deal in the meantime.
Sign up for a 2 year HTC One/ S4 deal for around 30ish a month.
Can't decide myself right now, but that Vodafone deal looks kind of poor compared to Three's offerings. I'd probably go the Nexus 4 route and a £10 a month sim if I were you, you can still get over £100 for your old S2 to go the cost of the new Nexus.
The Nexus 4 can be bought outright for £239 (8GB) and £279 (16GB) with no SD slot being the only real downside.
If you really must have a contract, look at the S3 (especially once the S4 has been out a while from the end of April) - it's been advertised on £21/month contracts already and would be a natural step up from your S2 (with a better screen and much more poke) plus save you a tenner a month maybe - what's not to like?
