I choose to buy it and am already quite satisfied. It has improved my reading experience.
Many may not have noticed but the screen has a warmer hue to it than the Voyage or the Paperwhite.

I haven't received mine yet, but the side by side comparisons of the screen color along with the physical buttons was what made me decide on the Oasis. I hadn't thought of not seeing the hepatic buttons on the Voyage at night but I could see that bothering me.
As far as price, once I got the cover I wanted (the premium one), the price on the Voyage would have been right up there with the Oasis, so it really was not enough difference to matter.
For people who want an Oasis, but need help with the cost there are options. Amazon has a payment plan without interest over 4 months (I think 4 months). If you buy through Best Buy there is an option to pay with Pay Pal and they have Pay Pal Credit which lets you pay over something like 6 months without interest. It still costs the same, but makes it a little easier to manage that way.
