Storage isnt a deal breaker for me and I do like the fact that it's vanilla Android. Think I'm leaning towards the Nexus 4.
It is if you download more than a couple of large 3d games like gta or need for speed. I clocked up 11 out of 16gb gone on my Sgs3 in the first month.
16gb isnt enough for any Android phone now imo.

That all depends what you use it for. I don't do gaming so I would never fill up the internal memory not even on 8 gigs. I use the extrernal memory for most things

 my S3 is a mess when it comes to memory, some of my media is sitting in the built in 32gb mem, some of it sitting in my 32gb microSD, I know all games are in the built in mem, got around 5gb worth of games right now, from Angry Birds to Battle Field Bad Company, I'm glad I don't have to worry about memory, I don't play games much but I have days where I just want to try some just to see how they are, and play now and again when bored, if I had a Nexus 4 I'd be doing a lot of deleting and replacing, something that I haven't had to do since my Nokia 7250i.

On mobiles I prefer simpler touch based games. Currently im playing Simpsons tapped out. Its good but has stupid loud notifications which sound at the most annoying times. Often im woken in the night to the sound of Homer screaming. Will probably uninstall.
As for the 3d games, I play them rarely but tend to keep them installed as ive paid for them.

Im the same, i just cant delete a paid game, even if i really dont plan on playing it, even apps, i bought Nova Launcher back when i was on ICS, but have hardly used it.

Yep, was a lovely phone, small and stylish. I used to download a lot of polyphonic ringtones, wallpapers and even some very simple java s30 games and apps, lol, was an awesome little thing, i had it for 2years, not a single issue.

Galaxy S3's year old Super AMOLED HD Pentile Matrix display pretty much owns the LG Optimus G Pro's True HD-IPS+ 1080p LCD:

Incredible, always liked my GS3's display even though its not as eye-popping as the S2's, it is a lot smoother and crisper, but I didn't know it was this capable of holding its own against the onslaught of HD1080P LCDs

Super amoleds always look better imo. The contrast just looks nicer and can be viewed from all angles with little loss in quality. Display quality is one area I cannot skimp on and the Sgs3 has probably the best size to quality to resolution ratio of any phone for me.
I was looking through a magnifying glass today at a friends iphone 4. Although its pixels appear smaller and more densely compact, you cannot really tell, and my phones screen so much more vivid and colourful.

etaab yeah, very cool and vivid colors on the screen! It's a joy to watch movies.
But SAMOLED screens have worse lifespan.. Anyway, it seems that PenTile Matrix SAMOLED are better in terms of lifespan.
I mean on my Galaxy S2+ (RGB Matrix) I can see how much the screen degraded.
Even in first months I've got a "mark" on statusbar (something like burn-in effect). Most of the status bar area being black, in fullscreen apps (or landscape mode) I could see clearly the status bar section (with icon "shadows") that has better colors since rgb pixel leds didn't wear in that section, being off.
How's on S3?
I know that S1 is much better than S2 in this aspect.
One thing that made me to skip the S3: the protective frame. It's much worse on impacts. S2 is a tank in comparison to S3. I know that because I've dropped many times, including on hone where S3 display would be KO.
