My PW I always treated as an eink reader with built in frontlight. Doh, that is what it is. Use the light when you need it, don't use it otherwise. So I set it at a low level and forget about the light. The Voyage on the other hand is not an eink reader with builtin light when needed, but rather an eink reader with a light as essential part of the whole experience. To fully enjoy it the light needs to be on and the Voyage needs to stay in control with adaptive light and nightlight enabled. Apparently it knows better than myself how bright it should be.
Subjectively my Voyage has a much better and more even and uniform light than my PW. Objectively I can almost see the more blueish bottom. Almost? Yes almost, as I cannot tell at all once I read - the difference is way too subtle to be bothered with - even when turning it up higher than the adaptive light wants to. Analyze the picture if you want, but I won't change my mind about loving the screen on my Voyage.

I came from a PW1, it really is quite a difference, isn't it. Like krazy says though, you train the light to change to the levels you want. It learns what you like. I changed it to what I like when I read in bed, I changed to when I was outside so for brightest and then again when I sit inside. So it just adjust anywhere in between now the way I like it. When I fiddle with it again, it has to learn again.
I too pretty much kept the light on the same level on the PW1, now I don't have to worry about that anymore, it just always looks properly lit.
