Depends on your priority. Optimus G (F180) korean version (exactly like the international version except for a dmb-tv antenna) is a good choice if warranty is not an issue. I m using a korean version . Awesome specs, almost totally lag free and decent developer support on XDA. Moto G cant even get close specs wise. But if you prefer a brand new one then moto G is your only option as international version Optimus G isnt available brand new in pakistan (or absurdly priced , e.g by homeshopping) and korean versions are mostly used/refurbished. MOTO G has the benefit of timely updates from google as well. So weigh your needs and choose accordingly.

You can opt for the AT&T version of the optimus g, it's available cheaper than the moto g and sometimes with box. but if u need brand new then moto g is the way to go

Optimus g has much better performance, screen, memory options
My sister has it (f180 converted to e975)
My brother wanted to buy a phone and we picked a900 over moto g after hands on experience with both. display of g was lower than a900 ps bleeding issue

i am not sure but 22k is too low for a new Optimus G give them a call and let us know what they say.

can you install CyanogenMod in your F180 after converting it to E975 ?

Its not my phone, so cant do modifications but its possible as cyanogenmod doesnt flash modem, even if it do, u can flash later
I m posting this from a CM-based rom, PACMAN. You can install CyanogenMod as well. As i said the optimus G has decent dev support. Has plenty of custom roms.

The AT&T version has a lower-res camera (though the camera in the entire optimus G line is shite) .

On the contrary, go for it. I recommend any version of optimus g you can get your hands on. It can take good daylight pics. Low light pics arent that good.

mate, camera isn't that all. all-rounder phone ..plus future-proof that can survice over two years. that matters. IMO.

The only future-proof phone, in terms of updates , is the nexus 5. Dont know how quick Moto G updates will be now that Motorola is being sold to Lenovo.
Between the two smartphones you have mentioned , i d still pick the optimus g on hardware specs alone.
