No.
The PW suffered from the lack of physical buttons, Kindle 2/4 users bemoaned this, and the Voyage attempted to put them back, with mixed success. Yes, you can adjust the pressure and haptic feedback, but I still sometimes get double page turns, something that never happened on the Kindle 4.
The resolution is much better than the Kindle 4, but I found the 4 quite acceptable (it's my bath Kindle[1]), and noticeably better than the PW. The PW has a good functioning front light, and while the Voyage tries to be clever with it's front light, again, it marginal whether it's worth it.
The Voyage is slimmer and lighter than the PW, and this is noticeable, and the micro-scratched glass front is a lot better than the PWs plastic screen, with increased resolution, it does look good.
So, what you get, if viewed back-to-back, is a noticeably better product in a lot of small ways, but, you *really* pay for that. I know two other Voyage users, who, like me, both claim they wouldn't go back, but think value for money, it isn't worth it over a PW2.

Woud like to add one thing to the conversation here. I while I have never actually done it I could imagine that dropping an ereader in a bath tub would not be a good idea. I recomend that all of us here recommend a Kobo Aura H2o for this matter

The H2o is the first ereader that is watter proof.
