You make a compelling argument! It is certainly worth visiting and spending some time down there. Of all the places you linked to I would avoid Lipson, that is where my wife taught, and it was very much on the rough end of the scale. Also Torquay is the extreme of bleak in the winter, would pick Paignton over Torquay, good zoo.
I prefer Exeter over Plymouth personally, but does depend how close you want to be to the coast, as places near the coast round there are not all that great (Exmouth, Sidmouth) unless you go for smaller places like Holcombe and Budeigh, but then you are not in any sort of cultural centre...
