Different strokes and all that. I had a PRS-900 and never liked 2 page landscape. And any page real estate benefit you get from the extra 1" of the 950 is totally lost once you use 2-page landscape mode, due to the extra margins you've just added.
The page turn/battery charge thing is a non-issue unless you plan on being without electricity for weeks at a time. I charge my 650 less than once a week and it has never gone below 2 bars except for the first day when it had to index my loads of books. I've read over 50 books since I got it (was on a 2-week vacation at the beach!) so it's not like I'm not charging because of low usage.
I did get my Dad a PRS-950 because he needs to read at larger font sizes. For him the extra 1" does make a significant difference for page turns.
