I finally bit the bullet and purchased by DPT-S1 from Sony itself using my Amex card (extra year of warranty). I've had it for one and a half weeks and its been pretty great! For my use case, the full size PDF and the pen capabilities are perfect. I mostly read medical text books and write notes and the active reading is really beneficial. I came from using a Surface Pro 3 and I think this is miles ahead. Never having to worry about battery life or being able to see the screen in sunlight is a lifesaver. Also the pen input while not being as versatile (pressure sensitivity, colors, precision) is sufficient for notes and annotating. The PDF reader on the Sony is also pretty robust in the sense that it doesn't crash with large PDFs and is quick enough to "flip" through when scanning a book. The 9 sheet/page view really helps with this. One addition I would like is is an ebook reader app. Using Calibre to convert works for now, but having a stand alone app would be nice for organizing my casual reading. I wish Sony would open up the software so we could add apps like Koreader.
