I am using the Lumia 1020 and I like it a lot. The picture quality is stunning (it's the main reason I got the phone). I love the OS, I don't mind the app situation so much since I don't use too many anyways. The only thing that bugs me about WindowsPhone is just how much better the OS is in the USA than anywhere else. Cortana in Canada is genuinely a lot worse than Cortana is in the US. Hopefully that'll be fixed in time, but so far no luck.
When I got the Ativ SE I was seriously considering a 1020 as well. I'm glad you are enjoying it. The lack of apps never really bothered me either, the gap is small at this point and the ones missing like snapchat I don't really care about enough to change OSes. I wish you luck with better Canada support. I know they are making a myriad of updates and fixes to Cortana as they continue to improve W10Mobile so I'd say it's most likely you'll notice dramatic improvement upon it's public release.
