The Nexus 5 is 99 bucks for a two year deal at Rogers, if you get that you're locked into the deal regardless. Why not just get it from Googleplay and either keep your old deal without having to upgrade or bring it to Rogers and you might get a bring your own device discount.
350 for wireless freedom or 100 for the pleasure of having a new two year deal. I'd much rather spend the extra 250 and be able to use the unlocked feature.

We are grandfathered right now into a really great data package with Rogers (6 GB data) and I thought there is no way I'll get this good of a deal without keeping/extending our contract (our contract is up in the spring). That's the only reason why I'd lock back into a contract. My husband tends to deal with the phone purchases so I've been pretty much out of the loop when it comes to the details, but it's my iPhone that has started to die here, so I've taken the reigns to find a good replacement that isn't iPhone. Maybe we can get a similar deal without locking into a contract somewhere? If we can, that'd be great.
