The screen upgrade seems like a minor improvement to me. Granted, I need to see one in a store to be sure but I'm unable to tell the difference from the YouTube videos. There's also a trade-off in that the battery life is reduced 25%. Too bad it doesn't have a light sensor.
The extra RAM will allow more complex firmware, and more caching of book information, possibly leading to faster page turns.

It's unsurprising that any screen difference isn't visible in Youtube videos. The PW3 have about 1000 pixels across the page, compared to about 750 on the PW2. Even a Youtube video at 1280x720 isn't going to be sharp enough when showing the screens side by side.
