The trouble is that you cannot compare 6.8" model with 6" model. The nature of the 6" model is that it IS 6", the nature of the 6.8" model is that IS 6.8". apples and oranges. 6.8 is obviously bigger then 6. cut the paper to glo size - 114 x 157 (4.5 x 6.2 x 0.4 in) and then cut the paper to a aura HD size - 128.3 x 175.7 (6.91 x 5.05 x 0.46 in) and you will see the difference. Thickness difference is 0.06" - so Aura HD is 1.7 mm thicker then glo, so that difference is in my opinion completely irrelevant. Not to mention high resolution screen and other advantages... for example you get almost 25% more text on the screen

That being said, arguing about size has no sense at all.

Having a 6" device my self together with 6.8" i feel that it is more comfortable to hold 6.8 device then 6" device, in my opinion 6" device is too small.
