My BN has both the simple touch and the glow light.

I had my nook with me and was able to compare. Most definitely lighter, not too much of a difference in contrast and sharpness (though it does depend on the font) and the screen feels a tad different. Still unsure if the light is enough for me to upgrade. I think I'll wait to see if kindle comes out with a light feature and compare more apples and oranges.
