As a long time Sony user, I can highly recommend the Kobo Aura H2O. The H2O fills all of your must-haves.

The H2O has an eInk Carta screen. It's has much better contrast and significantly higher resolution. Very nice.
It's lighter than the 950.
It's actually a larger screen at 6.8" because of having a proper aspect instead of just stretched.
Using Calibre, you can have collections made when eBooks are sent to the H2O.
The battery life is very good.
It has a much newer version of RMDSK (ADE) than the 950 for ePub compatibility.
You can read ePub from Overdrive with the H2O.
It works very well with Calibre.
The front light is very nice to have instead of a light cover that adds extra weight.
