Not sure for the Moto G buying through the Google would have been much better. Assuming it's $179 for a GPE Moto G (same as US though dollar is going down so I'd expect that to change shortly) you'd still pay the regular $20 shipping from Google Play Store so it'd end up being the same price as the carrier one but without the Motorola value added features like always on voice commands, active display and gesture based tech.
Mind you you'd still have to unlock the phone. There was a long thread about how to do it in forums, but rather than trying to figure out I just bought an unlock code online for $3 to save myself the half hour or hour it would have taken me (based on my S2 unlock)
