Both have Carta screens, and the difference in PPI is not significant. My Glo HD is clearly superior to the Glo, but I wouldn't expect it to be significantly better than the H2O.
I have all three. The difference between the Glo and the others is easy to see. When I compare them, the Glo has that printed on coarser paper look. It looks good, but compared to the other two, it isn't. But, I can't see really see the difference between the Glo HD and the Aura H2O.

My test was simple. Open a book and set the font size so the text appeared the same size and set the light level to the same on all three. Then look between the three. And I put one in front of the other so I'm comparing the the text on one side of the screen.

Oh I think I found the way. Kind of a hassle. Perhaps this afternoon I will have time.
If the idea is to compare the sharpness of the screen, the screenshot won't help. This is taking a copy the rendered screen stored in a buffer. That won't show how it looks on the actual screen. The photo is needed for that.
