I only bought my PW in the beginning of the summer and I'm happy with it, so no reason for me to upgrade. I knew when I bought it that there would probably be new models in the fall and I wanted one for the summer. I also knew about the blobby screens and I was worried about that. I don't see any blobs on my screen. If I did, I would be pre-ordering the new one right now.
I am not one to upgrade my gadgets every year, anyway. I think as an incremental upgrade, the new PW looks just fine and price looks just fine (same as the old price). I don't expect radical improvements every year, I'm just happy that e-ink screens keep improving at all. It's a much smaller market than tablets, after all.
Let's hope we get most or all of the new firmware features in a firmware update. I am guessing that we will.
