I've had my Aura for a year now, and like you I love the form factor and the small size, flat screen, thats one of the reasons I wanted the Voyage, as a replacement.
The problem with the Aura is that its fine if you have nothing else to compare with but if you start looking at other screens you begin to realise that the text can be a bit grey and a bit fuzzy, especially when using the light in low light or dark conditions. I think its because of the extra layer Kobo had to put over the text as its a Capactive screen, rather than the IR used for all other Kobo devices. Amazon use Capactive screens and that is where they do excel over Kobo.
I've attached a photo of the two of them side by side. Its not the same story, but it is the same font and size (roughly) and both are at full brightness. Its 3pm here so full day but its not bright. It might help in showing what I mean.
I got my Glo for £70 and mainly because I had heard Kobo might be discontinuing them and wanted to get one before they all disappeared. Also size wise there's not much difference in the size.
Sorry i forgot, Aura on the left, Glo on the right
