You all have more hands-on experience with these device - Should I wait out for the Aura production issues to stabilize or grab the HD while it's still around?
I don't have a new Aura, so I can't directly compare, but you won't be giving up much functionality with the Aura HD vs the Aura 6". Other than the 2 finger swipe for light control, pretty much everything else will be coming to the Aura HD with a firmware update. The HD is definitely heavier but that's the tradeoff for a bigger screen. If you want to wait, I suspect that due to the huge sales volume they've had with the Aura HD it is no longer a limited edition device, but has now become a standard addition to the lineup.
