I have the original Nook WiFi... and I also upgraded to a Sony 950.
I sure hear what you are saying, as I'm dubious about the N2E. One thing I like about my classic is that I can see my BN downloaded content and easily drag and drop it to my computer for backup, something I hear cannot be done with the N2E. However, the N2E does offer part of what I wanted in an upgrade, better battery life and Pearl touchscreen. But without organization I can back up on my computer, not quite good enough.
In my case though, I really like and prefer the Sony 950 to a N2E! It has most of what my Nook WiFi has, and more, given that there's better organization possible, there's a 7" touchscreen, and 3G. The only lack is the touchy LCD color touchscreen and the games and I don't miss either. I think though, if one wants games on the Sony, one can install PRS+ and get a few.
No option for a dark color... but you could always skin it. Price isn't too bad for a refurb right now ($189 once added to cart), though it is quite a bit more than either N2E or Kobo. Still, there might be more sales. So if the new N2E and Kobo don't suit, and you still want to upgrade, you might consider the Sony again if it comes on sale.
Or, if you like your current reader, just hang onto it and ignore the gadget lust for the time being. Maybe Sony or Amazon will make something in the fall you'd like better. Even if you have to wait a year to upgrade, all that happens is you enjoy your current reader longer and save money.
