@rogerinnyc: Yup, that sums up my feelings on the subject fairly well

.

I'd just add that I do find the screen 'quality' to be lower, compared to a PW2. As you said, it's definitely more sluggish, but I also find that it ghosts quite a bit (I'd say it's better than a PW1, but not by much), an area where the PW2 is freakishly exemplary. On the other hand, the lighting is even and flawless, so that's always a good thing, when you remember the PW1 mess

. It's definitely sharp (compared to a PW2, at least, since I haven't seen a KV), but the IR-grid touchscreen still has the same pros/cons: no extra layer, but a raised bezel, w/ glossy insides, and a lack of precision (I somehow find it worse than my old Touch, but it might be just the bigger size, or the fact that I haven't used the Touch daily in a while).
