If the Aura Edition 2 will have the OverDrive integration and the Glo HD and older Kobo's not, then maybe that could be enough reason for some people to buy it instead of the Glo HD.
Kobo might have to pay licence fees to OverDrive and/or Adobe to include the OverDrive/Adobe fulfillment software on the device, or maybe they expect fewer ebook sales to people who buy it for the OverDrive integration, which might explain the price being almost as much as the higher-spec Glo HD.
