I've had the Kobo Glo for about 1.5 months now and I've been using it just about 100% of the time trying to force myself to get used to it and like it. Today I picked up my 350 and it still just blows the Kobo anything away... the size, the wonderfully responsive touch screen with a minimal thumb movement, even the smooth feel of the glass.
The light on the Kobo Glo is great, it's even, no dark cones at the bottom, no color blotches at all. But for everything else, it just doesn't compare to the x50 line of readers. The most maddening thing to me about it is how unresponsive the touch screen is, it takes me up to 4 tries to turn a page and that's not a rare occurrence. Even if it should turn the page on the first swipe, it's still slower than the 350 because of the slight delay it purposely added to prevent multiple pages from being flipped at once.
I'll use the Glo when I need a light when reading at night, but the rest of the time, the 350 is still my reader of choice.
