Oculus Touch or bust?

So I am still waiting for my Oculus Rift pre-order.  I know the headset is amazing (tried it last year at E3) but I am concerned about the motion controllers and the attitude of closed ecosystem from Oculus.  The initial reviews for Touch seem promising.  Will it allow for whole room VR like the Vive?  I have a room set aside in my house just waiting for VR! 

 

I am not very interested in sitting in a chair playing VR games on an XBOX controller.  But I also definitely prefer the Rift headset over the Vive.  I am torn whether I should cancel my Oculus order and wait for Touch to see how it looks, keep the order and enjoy it with the dumb controller, or cancel and go with Vive.  

 

thoughts? experiences?
