Unlike many other ereaders Sony has always delivered a relatively mature product that does as advertised. They did release a firmware update for the epub/pdf protected page problem that corrected a problem. Since their product is mature there is no reason to update what works.
PRS+ is great in that it expands the feature set and the fact that Sony has allowed room for tweaking is also a plus. It definitely extends the life of the entire Sony line.

I have bought more books from Amazon since I got my Sony ereaders then I have from the Sony store. As long as the DRM is easily removed I'll continue to shop where I want for my books.

I have no first hand knowledge but I heard that now the T-1 syncs between the device and all of their desktop/phone apps.

Sony also has unlimited cloud storage for items bought from the Sony store. I can download to my 950 any purchased book at any time via wireless.

I love my dropbox. I have reached their max free account size of 10.25 gigs of space. More than once I accidentally converted over top of a book I had edited and made changes to only to find those changes gone. A simple trip to my dropbox web area and I am able the restore the last version and all the work I lost due to my own error is restored.

I won't be buying a Kindle any time soon but I agree with you converting my ePubs to Mobi is trivial.
