At a price point of $200 the 950 would be a K3 killer from a hardware standpoint, book shopping ease notwithstanding. The others will be also rans to the K3 at the current pricing and feature set (I'm speaking of mass market consumers, not frequenters of this site).
At $300 only the die-hard ePub or Sony fans, or gadget fanatics who prefer form over function are going to really be willing to spend that much when the competition does it for so much less. Yes the brushed metal finish puts the Kindle and Nook's plastic outer shell to shame, but at a cost.
Of course by this time next year the 950 will probably be going for $200 and the K3 WiFi for $99 so it may just be a matter of waiting to see how things shake out.
If you already have a decent reader I suspect that now is not the time to buy.
