I went from a Paperwhite 1st generation to the Voyage and I am super happy.
Now I never seen a PW2, so I don't know how better than the PW1 it was, but I was never really happy with my PW. First I missed the page buttons, I just prefer reading a book like that.
I also was never happy with my PW screen. It was like looking through milk, or a window. The fonts were uneven in parts and I had a really mottled screen. I had 3 replacements at the start and settled on it.
I actually went and bought the basic, when it still had buttons and preferred reading daytime on it over the PW.
For me the lit screen on the Voyage is like night and day to my PW. Its warmer, its even, I don't get the milky effect. Font is so much more clear and contrasted.
The auto light works fantastic for me. I never fiddle with my light now. It just adjust and once it learned what I needed, its been spot on. I have no more cat dander and hair and other things stuck in the bezel.
And most of all the page buttons. Although not technically buttons, they give me that same feeling.
And its so much faster than my PW. I use collections a lot, have many books. Search I also love a lot, everything just is much snappier.
And I can finally keep wifi on. On my PW it was eating battery so bad I couldn't leave it on all the time and if I didn't, it kept getting stuck dealing with the collections.
For me the extra money was worth every penny.
