My answer in short is yes -- the Glo HD is noticeably better than the Glo in many ways (sharpness of the screen, frontlight quality, smaller, lighter) and its production has been halted recently, which means that it will be harder to find as time goes on. Keep in mind though that the Glo HD lacks an external microSD card slot, but opening it and substituting the internal microSD card for a larger one, if you wish, is quite easy and doesn't take much time (you can find the procedure here on the forum).

I would also advise against buying the recently released Aura 2nd edition (the Glo HD's "substitute") if you have the choice between the two -- it has the same resolution screen as the old Glo, and as far as I know it's impossible to substitute the internal microSD should you wish to do so.
