Frankly, there's nothing better right now for manga than the DR1000. That's one reason I like it so much!
And frankly, there is no indication that the Plastic Logic experience (hardware reliability & costumer service) will be much better... it's their first consumer product and they are a fairly small company, more like iRex than say Sony or Apple.
As for touch-smudge screen technology, no thanks. I'm already cleaning the Sony & DR1000 screen often enough as is... and just because you have to flip real pages doesn't mean it's a good idea to translate that to an ereader, where a simple click (or light touch in the case of the DR1000) can do the same job as an unnecessarily big gesture.
