Though I had seriously considered it, I decided not to return it (and do worry that I may yet regret that decision). I use my phone for voice calls infrequently, so the speed upgrade, better camera, and amazing display outweigh the reception issue for me. I also spend a lot more time with WiFi available than not, and WiFi reception doesn't seem to be affected. It wasn't an easy decision though. I paid a premium for a device that is effectively defective by design. That stings no matter how you slice it.
