So temptation wins.
My wife has been looking at the Nook STR to replace her Sony 505. I went to Best Buy yesterday to pick up the X-Men movies on Blu-ray to get the free tickets for First Class and saw they still had the one 950 left. I started joking that she should just get that instead of the new nook. After looking through the spec, she asked if it is worth and extra $60. I told her that for the Sony's organization ability and build quality, most definitely. Sure the new Nook claims a longer battery life but the 950 has a larger screen while having the Pearl display and IR touch ability.
Needless to say, she is loading up her new 950 right now and we will hit B&N later tonight to check out the Nook color cases. I told her that if she decides she doesn't like it, she can return it.

I was sorely tempted to get it since it was the last one. Had I not just purchased a new 650 two weeks ago to replace my broken one, I may have.
I decided that I should not get it for multiple reasons.
1) I just bought a new 650
2) I don't really want a larger screen than a 6" as it would not fit well in my bag
3) I don't think we need yet another ereader in the house. We already have 2-505s, 1-600, 2-300s, a 650 and two 1st Gen iPads.
4) I don't want to upset my wife by making another unnecessary purchase that we can't afford.
