I have an SD card for extra memory and only use the cloud for contacts so I don't have to pay extra for cloud space. I don't like iPhones because it is proprietary and you can only use apps that Apple will allow. You picked a great phone and you will be very happy with it.
I have a mechanical engineering degree and I agree with everything you said. I especially like the SD card slot because I can carry all of my music (14,000 songs) wherever I go. I guess IPhones are fine, but I have never purchased an Apple product because there has always been a less expensive alternative available. Apple seems to have created a cult like following that is a bit scary.
