I appreciate any additional comments and/or first-hand experiences comparing these three models.

Yes, that's the major difference.
The Diamond also has visual voicemail and should have very slightly better battery life according to Verizon's specs:
Usage Time: 300 vs 250 minutes
Standby Time: 375 vs 350 hours
I don't know if Verizon charges for visual voicemail, doubt it, and if they do, it's not worth it, 'cause it's not the cool kind that you can add (to the TP also) that also gives you the text of the VM that you can read and keep a text record of, in addition to a recording. I like having the option of reading my VMs, especially when I'm in a meeting and sometimes it might be nice to have a text record.
Because the Diamond is newer to Verizon it seems like it might have some improvements over the first TPs, but I expect that any improvements are being incorporated into new TPs, eventually at least.
