The display real estate is bigger BUT not used properly.

The Light is as good as the second series of Glo.

So globally, it only comes to : it has a bigger dpi.

Nope, that is not worth the $.
We could argue all day long about personal preferences. For example, I like the bigger size as it allows me to see more books in my library all at once and in larger size. While it doesn't use the extra space 100% efficiently I still get more lines than with my previous reader. While there is a weight difference, it's almost indistinguishable. I really like the back. The light is better than most people's Glos.
All that for an extra $40? dollars. See? All points refuted.
