The Kobo seems more prone to issues with page turns (but not everyone has problems), and some people are put off by the 'social integration' (reading rewards, recommended books etc) though much of it can be turned off. It does look a pretty nice reader though, and as gari189 just said, for £80 it's a bargain compared to the Kindle and the Sony.
As for whether you'd be disappointed after being used to your Sony, well the screen on the Kobo should be better, but going some people who have older Sony's and dislike some things about the Sony PRS-T1, probably the build quality and solid feel of the Sony won't be matched.
With that in mind, it might be worth your while visiting a WH Smith store to see if you can play around with one of the display models (not sure if John Lewis have any demo models out on display?).
