The screen is just one component of the reading experience. Speed and ergonomics are imho even more important, once you have a decent screen.
I started with Ebk1150 which had amazing speed and very good ergonomics - outside of weight/look - and then used the 770 for several years because of the better screen/software and pocketability, while in ergonomics it had some better qualities using the buttons customization, some slightly worse.
Then I tried the 500 and while the screen was excellent, it was so slow and had so poor ergonomics compared to what I was using that I just could not use it that much.
505 was pretty much the same as 500 in those 2 categories, maybe slightly faster and slightly better ergonomics but still far from what I wanted there - I tested it several times in the past year - but for me 700 was such a surprise in speed after hearing proclamations that eink *will always* be slow and the touch adds so much to ergonomics that until you use it you do not know what you miss.
So again it depends a lot on whatever is important for you.
