Yes, the Touch is speedier and lighter - but if you haven't been using one, you won't miss it. The Wifi doesn't have as many features, but it is pretty stable. The other big advantage of the buttons means that if you want to read in the bath, by the pool, etc, you can stick it in a ziplock bag and it still works!
The negatives are that it doesn't read PDFs well (to the point where I don't bother trying). I don't use the dictionary anyways, so it's limitations don't bother me.
If you want a bare bones ereader and can find one at a good price (like the recent deal for $40 for a refurb), then the Kobo Wifi is still worth looking at.
