I always use 6" and occasionally 5" screen so I don't mind the smaller screen and I prefer the smaller weight but if the HD is better than the 6" in everything else I might keep it instead.
I have the Aura HD while my wife has the Aura which she, umm, borrowed from me. Her preference for the Aura was due to the smaller size fitting her purse and hands better. The Aura HD does have the larger and higher resolution screen which my eyes appreciate. The front light is pretty much the same between them. The capacitive vs. IR touch screen doesn't make much difference in normal use though you do have to clean the gap under the Aura HD's bezel once in a while -- dust and fluff buildup.

Pretty much comes down to the ereader size/weight and screen size/resolution as the only real difference.
