Similar Nexus-only owner here -- Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and now Nexus 6P. I skipped Nexus 6 (released between 5 and 6P) and I'm afraid I will also skip the initial Pixel line in favor of what's next.

Depending on what's next, I may have to switch to something else entirely.

Many clamored for a flagship-quality phone and we got it, but the sticker shock is real.

I've owned the 4, 5 and both 7s, but I returned the 5X after a week. It was a good phone but the first (?) batch out of the factory had issues with the touchscreen while charging and it was $700+ here - it wasn't a $700 phone, IMO. Is the Pixel a $1200 phone? I'm not sure, but I've switched to a Moto X Style for $520 and it's quite good.

Unfortunately, I'll have to flash CM soon due to Lenovo deciding to leave the phone on a May 2016 security patch. I'm missing the Nexus updates, but Google's hardware and pricing is leaving a lot to be desired.
