Kobo vs. Sony Pocket

So obviously, I'm trying to decide which e-reader to buy. Right now I'm volleying between the Sony 300 and the Kobo (either the original or the new one). Both are cheap enough that price isn't really a factor. However, I'd be willing to check out a reader in a similar price range. Also, both support ePub natively which is a necessity for me. Here's what I have so far...

<b>Kobo</b>
<i>Pros</i>
Sleek design
Slimmer
Buy books most often from Chapters
6' screen
WiFi (in new version)

<i>Cons</i>
May not be durable
No sorting by genre/series
I've seen lots of problems on the boards here

<b>Sony Pocket</b>
<i>Pros</i>
Fairly reliable reviews
Looks durable
Sorting option

<i>Cons</i>
Looks bulky and old
I don't like the look of the Sony store
5' screen

So, any suggestions? Reviews one way or the other?
