I don't use the Dpad for moving
Noooooooooo!!!!! You *have* to use the dpad for moving! Well, at least I do, and I really like it. It takes some getting used to, but once you do you can have all of your other fingers free for the buttons. It is the best thing about the n52 IMO.
Mouse is for movement....d-pad is for movement options, eg up for follow, left for diamond spread, right for square spread, down for line spread.

[edit]

As for keeping the n52, do it, you won't regret it once you get used to it.

I'm about the same size as you and thought it was a little small to start with, but what I do now is have it directly beside the lefthand edge of my G15. My fingers can reach all the g-keys + all the mappings on the n52 so I get the best of both worlds. I use the mouse for movement and never have to touch the character keys on the g15 unless I want to chat with friends.
