Again I'd suggest it comes down to which handset appeals most to you. They are both similar in spec, but there are a few subtle details that may swing people either way.
I own a Desire that I bought sim free when it was released, however my upgrade is due in November this year, so I may get another Desire and eBay it, get a Desire HD or wait another 10 minutes for HTC to release the next model up

Admiteddly I am going off internet rumour, however I'd say the larger size part is going to be more accurate than some other rumours due to the physical object being held on videos and photos. I'd also expect some of the rumours to be true, such as the forward facing camera, the 4G network part etc. but we'll see.
This basically looks like an Evo 4G and Desire cross to me and as the US already has the Evo 4G released it wouldn't be so hard to make a model which accepts a sim card and then sell it in Europe which may explain why such a phone is out so soon and why it's not vastly different to the Desire. This would seem like a realistic view to me, it's a case of making a GSM handset from a CDMA handset and calling it a Desire HD. Not a great deal of work, but a new handset out with a few more features...
