The only thing is you ignore the negatives of the light on the Nook. The screen isn't as clear as the standard Nook ST and it's more susceptible to damage (the light guide layer appears a bit fragile).
As for comparing it to the Paperwhite (or the Kobo Glo/Aura for that matter), the screen isn't as good, and it has less resolution, and the light isn't anywhere near as good. It's a lot more versatile though. There are far superior ereaders available, but if you aren't that bothered, the one area the Nook is streets ahead of the others (apart from it's hackability) is of course, value for money!
If I had the option of the Nook ST and the Nook ST with Glowlight, I'd go for the one without the light every time though.
