Received OnePlus One invite. Should I get it now or wait for Nexus 6?

I was going to get the Nexus 6 (or Nexus 5 2014 - whatever it will be called) later this year when Android L launches. However I just got my invite to buy the OnePlus One CyanogenMod phone. OnePlus One is promising Android L update within 3 months of the final release. What do you guys think I should do? Should I get the OnePlus One now or wait for the Nexus 6 (which presumably will have equal or better specs than the OnePlus One).

The one thing that does concern me about the OnePlus one is the size (5.5"). It is truly a phablet. But then there are no guarantees that the Nexus 6 will remain at 5", since all the Android flagships are headed that way.

I had an Xperia Z Ultra for a few weeks. That is a phablet worthy of the name.

This.

Or just sell the invite on eBay. You'll get like $150 before fees. And avoid any delays in waiting to receive the phone from OnePlus.

Yeah and I don't have big hands so it's gigantic for me. It's kind of a crappy phone because of it's freakishly huge size but it's an awesome pocketable mini tablet.

I ordered the 64 GB Black model for $349. No tax. I'm pretty stocked about using my first Android phone.

I'd do some homework before jumping on the One Plus. It's being raped on the tech forums for a variety of major shortcomings and any users that complain on their own user forum are being banned. Just as one example I saw is a user with a new phone arriving without (as in NONE) volume control and, no resolution. Everything from yellow screens to LED lights visible at the bottom edge of the screen. No thanks! FWIW, I also read there are attorneys presently exploring a class action lawsuit from the sheer ratio of problems and lack of manufacturers response to them.

Just got my Oneplus One yesterday and am loving it so far. This coming from only using iOS since the iPhone 3g days. Getting a Nexus tablet over Christmas helped me along the decision to switch, and the new release of L is going to be even better.
