Conclusion: with a positive is gained a negative. The 503 I have is by far the most uniform in its background. No blotches. The hue fades somewhat more naturally as it moves toward (away from?) the lights. BUT! Sigh. The contrast of the eInk also by FAR the worst of the three I compared against one another. This was especially apparent to me as I've come to prefer and use primarily the Palatino font.
When reading at night with the 503, the Palatino was a lighter grey on a yellowish white background. I dunno. As much as I dislike the spotty, muddy nature of the 501 I've been using, the font is much more black against the "paper."
Additionally, on the 503 I have, the center two lights eke pronouncedly up to near the center of the screen in a way that is remarkably brighter than the rest of the screen.
Anyway. There be my updates!

You didn't mention the 502 results.
