In trading in my Kindle 3 for the Sony 650, I figured at worst case if I need support, I hope it is at a point to where the Sony is so old I might as well upgrade to something newer at the time.

I agree with you. But I also believe the Sony form factor is one of the best. And aesthetically, nothing beat a Sony Reader in my opinion. The PRS-950 is a great value, you are getting a lot for the $299 ($249 permanently would be a great target price). Also, the touch technology for e-ink is pretty expensive at this moment (the Sony Rep mentioned that on my Sony Forum). The previous clarity issues is not the only reason that Amazon has not released a touchscreen reader. If I have to pay a little more for touchscreen, then I'm fine with that since I don't think I will be able to love any reader without the touch technology!
