My Mum has one like that without the branding. Mum seems to think it's not bad, but I am not over-impressed with it - it works well enough, but it seems to be more expensive than it is worth (in my opinion at least, but then chances are my opinion is irrelevant as a lot of other people seem to love it).

If you like the phone, you'll only be paying £10-£15 over the current going rate for a standard refurbished 6230 for this branded version, so it is not too bad a price.

As for whether it is a downgrade, it depends on the phone you are currently using. The biggest question you might not think of would be form factor - you say you use a flippy phone and you might find you prefer that to standard phones (I do - makes it harder to dial while it is in your pocket, which I find reassuring). However, if you keep it in a small pocket in your bag (as my Mum does), this might not bother you.
