I've owned both the PW1 and PW2 and recently got a Voyage, primarily for the page-turn sensors. Although I have no complaints about the Voyage, now that I've used it for a few weeks I don't think it was worth the cost of the upgrade.
The increased screen resolution is noticeable when you look at them side by side, but isn't noticeable to me when reading. The page forward sensors work but are awkwardly placed (too low) and take more pressure than I'd expected. The page back sensors are too small to easily use and I prefer to tap the screen on the rare occasions when I want to page back. I use a case with mine and can barely detect the haptic feedback when I turn pages. even at its highest setting. Most of the time, I continue to tap the touchscreen to change pages just as I do on the PW. The screen lighting is fine for me on both models with no noticeable improvement on the Voyage.
All in all, my actual reading experience on the Voyage is practically the same as on my PW2 and if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have purchased it. Again, let me emphasize that I'm not dissatisfied with my Voyage and it's become my primary reader but it really isn't much of an improvement, if any, over my PW2 which is also a great device.
For the price difference, I recommend the PW2 over the Voyage. If the higher cost doesn't matter to you, the Voyage is everything it claims to be and I think you'd be satisfied with it. Either way, you can't go wrong.
