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.

No one was arguing until you came along. We were perfectly discussing the merits/demerits of having a larger eReader.
And there is a point in comparing a 6" and a 6.8" reader. Some might find it too big, and some will see it as the perfect size. And that "it only has 1.7mm thicker" means nothing if the device has bad ergonomics (which I'm not saying it does).
