Which one should I buy? Lumia 640 or Lumia 730?

Hi, after I bricked my Lumia 525 I am planning to buy a new phone. But I'm confused between L640 & L730. The specs are pretty much the same and I'm getting these phones in almost similar price. So which one should I buy?

It mostly comes down to the design and the slightly larger screen of the 640. Design wise Lumia 730 looks prettier but the 640 has a slightly bigger screen. Oh and the Lumia 640 supports Lumia Camera 5

640! Cos it has glance screen and already has 8.1 update 2.

Here is the tale of the tape:
Nokia Lumia 730 Dual SIM vs. Microsoft Lumia 640 Dual SIM - GSMArena.com
FAQ - Which features does my Lumia phone support? - Microsoft - Philippines

640 - Faster H+ data speed enabled
The screen - so close, both hover near 300 ppi - do you prefer OLED (730) or IPS LCD (640)?
730 has slightly lower MP rear camera, but still wins with Zeiss Lens and larger sensor
730 has a generous 5MP front camera if you do selfies or video chat a lot
640 has larger battery and better endurance
640 has Glance

The mid range is all about finding which important features to you the phone will support and compromising on features you have a low priority for.
