I bought an Aura, and it didn't do much for me. I didn't care for the extra weight and thickness. I felt like I needed to use two hands while reading (I normally use one with my Glo). The Aura also "felt" heavier on first impression; holding each in one hand the weight seems very similar, but in actual use the weight (and bulk) seemed noticeable.

I did like the larger screen size. But in the end, I kept the Glo.

Buying in a store to give it test run seems like a good idea if the store has a liberal return policy. Also, with the reports of dead pixels, shipping problems to the U.S., and poor online system, I wouldn't want to buy anything from Kobo online (I would want the piece of mind of an easy return that hopefully a B&M offers).
