Aura's screen is not only bigger, but also has a higher pixel density. Fonts, some favourites from the paper world (Caslon, for example) should, in theory, look better on higher pixel density screens. In theory, a smaller font size should also look better on Aura... so, I still want it.

But I have not seen one in store yet, and will definitely not upgrade before I scrutinize it for myself. Aside from software growing pains, there is nothing wrong with 3 Touches owned by my family, they are doing the job.
