Why P? Why not S,Acro S or Ion? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Earlier this morning I was browsing the internet looking for a 2nd hand Xperia Acro S or Xperia S.
And then I started to browse the Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion Forum here on XDA.
Sad to say that there are only few customized ROMs/Kernels on those devices. Those devices are
even more powerful than Xperia Go, Sola, U and P. But why the Developers doesn't seem like to
explore the powerful devices and they keep focusing on the low-end devices.
Well I'm lucky I have an Xperia P and lots of to choice what to customized.
Planning to buy Xperia Acro S.
Hope they will focus on some high end devices too

acro s is 2012 but sp is 2013 phone. S is not to be supported beyond 4.3 I think but Sp gurantees at least 4.4 and is very new in terms of both specs and looks. In fact the development is on full swing, you can see S just has 2 kernels but Sp has many

sp has a gb ram + 4.1 prebuilt so it works smoothly there which might not be the case with S
I think sp is best or what is your budget?

i'm viewing the SP and i know that it is really ahead of specs than any other 2012 xperia phones.
but the problem is the display. do you think the TFT capacitive touchscreen of Sony Xperia SP is not worth than Xperia Acro S or Xperia S?
some have;
Super AMOLED
IPS TFT PureMotion HD
LED-backlit IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen
True HD-IPS + LCD capacitive touchscreen
the display is 10% why im still not be able to say Xperia SP is better than 2012 phones
What kind of screen type will you prefer for your smartphones? And why?

Why P is good?
Steel body
Beautiful and highly visible display
Nice overall feel
Good battery (small but works well, yes it could alwys be better...)
Reasonable price (especially now compared to one year earlier)
It depends on where you come from! I switched from iphone 3G and my first though was: whooooa this is a PHONE. Beautiful in hardware, software.
However there is a huge downside unfortunately:
many users have reported call lags -> grab an independent one with unlockable bootloader and use CM that way you can avoid it and enjoy lightning speed with a nice, albeit different design.
