I chose the Opus because I wanted a reader that was :
1 - Simple.
No playing of music. I have a mp3 player that satisfies me.
No internet connection. I have my PC that does the trick, no problem.
No touch-screen, it seemed to me that those screens were more 'fragile'. I musta been wrong there cause it's already the second time I 'broke' the screen in 5 months.
2 - The possibility to have custom fonts. I use Herb Lubalin's 'Souvenir' font which is elegant and soothing for the eyes.
3 - The possibility of reading epub and mobi formats.
4 - Not too expensive. There again, that was without counting the two 60€ extras for replacing the screens.
