This just seems like a terrible replay of two years ago with the PW1s! If I had a good PW2 I'm sure I would have returned mine and moved on to something else.
I agree, stick with what you have if it works for you. I'm hesitant to say it because I don't want to upset anyone on here who has a perfect screen on their voyage and is happy with it, but to me I personally feel that most suffer from the two toned screen. I'm not saying "all" as I haven't seen every one obviously, I'm only saying I personally see it on all the pics posted on here and other forums, also on mine, and also on the Best Buy demo. Therefore, it's hard for me to see past what I'm seeing myself. That is all I have to go by. I agree that you're better off not playing the replacement game. While maybe you could end up happier, I think the odds are you won't. I find the whole thing frustrating, especially considering they are calling it a premium device. I'd love to find a perfect voyage, but will stick with my PW2 since I just don't feel hopeful enough about getting a better replacement.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread your post. The PW2 in Best Buy was more cooler, I'd say. It's sometimes hard to tell without comparing them to other devices directly in more natural lighting than Best Buy. Plus it was hard to compare it to the voyage since the voyage was half warm, half cool. My PW2 is of a warmer tone, however.

I can add that after seeing numerous PW2's in person, often at the same time, they all varied in tone. Some cool, some warm. Some very cool, some very warm. The screens vary quite a lot on these devices from my experience.
