I only have a 350, but operation is identical to the 650 (no expansion slot, no sound ability). I was so disappointed with the T1 when it came out, and posts about problems from people just confirmed my initial reaction to it, that I bought a 2nd PRS-350 to have as my backup for when this one dies or I break it (just had my 3rd major drop yesterday on concrete at the lakefront, didn't hurt it at all though). So I'd say go with the 650 if you can find a decent price for one still. You won't be disappointed with it at all.

As far as the screen being better on the T1, they're the same e-ink screens as on the x50 readers. You will notice a variance in brightness and contrast at times between the screens, but it's not because the T1 is in any way superior. On my 2nd 350, the same identical screen is very noticeably brighter with better contrast, background is lighter and text is darker. If you find any T1 screens that look better than a 650, you'll find just as many on 650s that look better than T1s. It's just how e-ink screens are.
