AFAIK, my plan options will be the same price whether I have a contract or not
The "Even More Plus" from T-Mobile are contract-free and $20/month cheaper than their on-contract equivalents. You save $480 over 2 years, well above the difference in purchase price, and have no ETF issues if you need to cancel.
if I choose not to use T-Mobile, won't I be stuck with edge?

Unfortunately yes.
