Mangling the numbers a bit. The average amazon review score is the same for the Oasis and Paperwhite, but the distribution is different.

Kindle Oasis (4.5): 75% gives it 5 stars, while 22% on 1,2 and 3 = NPS 53
Kindle Voyage (4.3): 67% five star, 17% on 1,2,3 = NPS 50
Kindle Paperwhite (4.5): 73% five star, 12% on 1,2,3 = NPS 61

The ratio of those who are really happy (5 stars) and those who are somewhat unhappy is very different. From this perspective the difference between the voyage and oasis is smaller.

My Oasis is held up in customs, and I find myself obsessing over not having it yet, instead of just enjoying my good old Paperwhite. :-) Most common complaints are ergonomics and price, so the odds are good that I´ll be in 5-star bliss tomorrow afternoon.
