I really like the screen & text on my KK, and won't upgrade if I find the screen & text is not at least comparable in daylight.

I have a KK. Fwiw, the black on the KK is very noticeably darker (this is comparing the built in Caecilia and helvetica fonts). The background on the KK is also lighter and neutral gray ; the pw2 it is darker and yellowish. I have to turn the light on the pw2 to about 9 to match the KK background with indoor daylight.
It does not help that the built in fonts on the pw2 are very light, and it does not allow you to load custom fonts. But even when I embed a thicker font in azw3 files, it's still not as readable as the KK because the "ink" is just not as dark. This may be ok with other people, but for me, I rather have dark text albeit with darker background than light text with really white background. As an analogy, I'd rather read a newspaper with dark print rather than a glossy magazine with faint text. YMMV.
