But I am also moving away from reading PDFs on a PC because I want the least eye strain possible.
I can't find any comparisons of the two screen types to make a decision.
I would be using this to read scientific papers for 80% of the time so that's what I am mostly concerned about.
any help is appreciated

You laid out some good criteria for yourself there. You might factor in on the other side that eink will probably yield longer battery life than a reflective LCD (though I don't know the specifics of the devices you mention).
But as for eye strain, I think you will need to judge that with your own eyes.
I don't think any data or other people's experience will help determine what you personally will be most comfortable with.
