These days I need a considerable amount of ambient light no matter what I'm reading on, and having briefly tried a PW, its benefits aren't of much use to me. Yes, the screen does look different regardless of the room lighting, but I didn't feel like it was a step down to go back to my T1. I do sometimes use an eluminator booklight with my T1, but I have to have it at just the right angle so that it lights more than just the screen, and I usually still need another light on in the room. Otherwise I get "headlight vision", which is what happened with the PW in a dim room. What can I say - I have weird eyes that get weirder as I get older. I can't drive at night unless the area is well-lit by streetlights. A camera flash blinds me for longer than is sensible.
If I had to replace my T1 right now, I'd probably get a T2. If Sony added a front lit model and there was no non-front-lit option, I'd consider it, but only if I can turn the light completely off. Otherwise, it would bug the crap out of me that I can't turn off something I'm not using.
