I have the original Nook and I also have a Sony 950 that I got recently, actually one day before the new Nook announcement, courtesy of the $200 Best Buy sale. If you can't find the Sony 950, it's tough to find for under $200, then I'd say get the new Nook.
Having a touchscreen is awfully nice! It definitely makes highlighting and such easier, though I've only got experience with that on my Sony.
As for audio, even though I have the capability on both the original Nook and Sony, to be honest, I only used it once on Nook to test it. I haven't even done that on the Sony yet. I don't like to listen to music while I read, and frankly, I have an mp3 player for when I do want to do music.
If you miss your book covers in color, remember, you can always get the BN app and look at your book covers in color on your computer. I did enjoy that a bit about the original Nook, but honestly, don't miss it much with my Sony. The full e-ink touchscreen really makes up for it.
