Your most restrictive requirement is probably "navigate by directory". That practically limits you to PocketBook, Onyx, Bookeen.
You found a place that sells PocketBooks. Excellent! The 623 aka Touch Lux meets all your requirements easily. I made the switch from BeBook Neo to PocketBook a year ago, and I am more than happy with it. Highly recommended!
The BeBook Neo is a rebranded Onyx reader. If you're happy with the brand you could try to find a recent Onyx model but I don't know how easy that would be in Australia. Also, bear in mind that Onyx is making the switch from Linux based firmware (which you have on the BeBook Neo) to Android. If you buy a Linux based model now it will be most similar to you BeBook (but better because there is 3 more years of development in it), but you won't get any further firmware updates. If you want an Android based model it would be better to wait a bit until they release a decent model with at least Android 4.
I've looked at Bookeen and their firmware is less feature-rich than Onyx or PocketBook. In that sense a switch to Bookeen might feel like a step backwards.
