I personally plan on buying the new 950. The price is high, but I've had my 505 for nearly 3 years without a single problem and my wife wants it. If the 950 gives me the same service -- 3 years without a problem -- I will feel that the price was justified. I tend to weigh quality higher than price, not that price isn't important -- it's just not controlling.

The one issue I want resolved is to know whether the ADE/ePub has been updated will give me access to B&N as well as the Sony bookstore.
No, the new Sony's will not allow for B&N's DRM. You will still have to strip the B&N DRM to get eBooks from B&N on a Sony.
