I pre-ordered a white one. I find I rarely use the front-light on my Paperwhite and the additional layers reduce contrast and clarity. I think this will be better for VoiceView as well since there will be no wear-and-tear associated with repeated plugging in of audio adapter.

Would be interesting if they added another no-front-light model with Oasis form factor and screen resolution. But people seem to like front light despite the trade offs.
To my mind the trade-off in screen clarity only occurs if you read in direct sunlight. In virtually all other lighting conditions, the improved clarity added by the light far outweighs the small loss of contrast due to the presence of the light diffuser.
