Unit variation may be a factor. I thought the voyage was sharper and had better contrast than the PW2 and I thought that the Kobo H2O was more or less the same as the voyage but with a nicer tone (ivory rather than the voyage blue). I just put my H2O side by side with my old PW2 and the contrast and sharpness are definitely better to my eye. I wonder if we put three PW2s or three H2Os side by side how much they would vary.
