Do you think the Edge's hardware will be a major improvement over the Nexus 4?

I am asking because I wonder why I should wait until next year for the Edge when Ubuntu Touch works just as well on a Nexus 4.

It "should" be considerably more powerful as it's designed to not only run ubuntu touch but also a full fledged ubuntu when its plugged into a monitor.

See this video for what that currently looks like on a nexus 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk9-v8Sl4yU Not that nice in my opinion.
