The prototype 950 seems smaller and lighter than the 900, but I'm leaning against paying almost $100 more for another line or so of text; I have no interest whatsoever in wireless Sony book purchasing, and not much more in the clunky, limited web browsing that may be possible.
The 650 is noticeably lighter than the 505, as well as I believe slightly smaller dimensions.
A guy at work has a DX Perl. Beautiful large screen, but very basic PDF support. My biggest gripe is that there's no ToC support. For reference materials this is a must. Also, page number navigation is crap on it. I managed to crash it 3 times.
I agree with you re 950. Although no doubt it is going to be a beautiful thing, it just isn't big enough.
