Personally I think the Voyage is worth the extra cost; you may of course disagree. What you get extra with the Voyage are:
- Metal, rather than plastic, case.
- Toughened glass, rather than plastic, screen, which gives better contrast.
- Haptic sensors (page turn buttons) on the bezel.
- Light sensor which can, if you wish, automatically adject the screen lighting for the ambient conditions.
- Smaller form factor.

I was thinking about this (I wanted a water resistant reader). But.
1. I prefer a plastic case for my readers. I love the Sony but it's cold to the touch.
2. Can't comment on this, I don't even have problems with contrast on my old BeBook Mini.
3. A win, I agree.
4. I never liked automatic screen lightnings, they always stay too light in dark surroundings.
5. The most important reason I didn't go for the Voyage.

I still have the voyage but am going to give the H2o a few weeks,so far for me the extra screen real estate wins out.

I wasn't sure about the difference between a 6" and a 6.8" screen when I bought my T68. But after using that for about a week, I decided I didn't want to go back to 6"... Every time I see my husband's Kindle, I think: that's so tiny! (strangely enough, I still use my 5" BBM and don't have a problem with that, but it's not my main reader anymore).
So, the extra screen real estate was very important, and add to that the lack of options towards margins on the Kindles, there simply was only one option...
