I think it's worth it... for me... but it's hard for me to recommend it to others.
I love my Sony 950 too but like you, I find it very hard to recommend it to people, especially newbies to ebook reading devices. I know why I thought it was worth the premium price (and still do), but those reasons don't apply to everyone.
I plan on using mine until it just drops dead - and praying there's a comparable replacement out there when that happens.
