Not a fair comparison. LCD screens are old-tech and easy to get right. Front-lights for e-readers are new and seemingly hard to get right. Amazon in particular seem to have difficulty with it. They had major issues with the lighting-tech of the PW1. I expected them to dump their approach and rip open a Glo to see how Kobo did it better, but no, they are persevering with their PW1 tech. They got it to work better on the PW2 but some problems are back on the Voyage. Most people can deal with the discolorations, but others find it irksome, particular on a device as expensive as the Voyage.

In short, I suggest you get the PW2. The Voyage isn't much of a tech advance on the PW2, and in the case of the light, is a step back.
