I moved from a T1 to an H2O a couple of months ago, so here are the Pros and Cons:
Pros:
MUCH nicer screen. Really really nice, big and clear and high res. Even my coworkers ooh and ah over it.
Easier to customize.
Frontlight. I didn't think I wanted this until I had it. Now I wonder why I didn't want it. It's great!
Bigger storage for more books.
Collections work much like they do on the Sony, except you'll have to consult the forums here how to set it up (it's not quite as straightforward).
I find it's a lot easier to operate one-handed, but YMMV.
Cons:
It's a lot heavier. Not just the screen is bigger, it's also thicker. That takes some getting used to.
No direct library connection (the only thing I really miss).
It doesn't come in pretty colors (I broke down and bought a Decal Girl skin)
If anything goes wrong, you'll have to deal with Kobo CS, which sucks big rocks.
Overall, I'm very happy with it. I do consider it an upgrade over the T1, which I loved.
