I do the same, analyzing everything. When I went from my keyboard to the first lighted kindle, I too had quite a bit of adjusting to do. Unfortunately in my case, I never could get used to the lack of buttons and my first PW was very uneven in light. Then I got the Voyage and the light was much better and at least I had some sort of buttons again. I was never happy though with those faux buttons and I had trouble using them while holding the device without dropping it.
But the Oasis kind of brought me back to the early kindles with true buttons. It is so light I can hold it with no pain. Its perfect for my reading needs.
The screens to look different on the lighted ones. I think you'll get used to it. Think you read for years on one kind of screen, so it takes time. Same with the fonts. I agree that the keyboard and the first basic kindle still have the best font and contrast of the font to my eyes. I think this is both because of the lower resolution and no light layers on them. For me the higher resolution has actually worked against my eyes. Fonts got thinner, maybe sharper, but thinner.
But it is what it is and I got used to it after a while. I can't read without a light anymore so its a moot point. Playing with the light level was something I did and I have now settled at #10 for me inside and #8 at night reading in bed with a side lamp. I need the screen just a bit "whiter" but not glowing. As soon as it glows, I know its turned on too high. I have treated all my lighted kindles this way. I compared it to my keyboard and its really only a couple of shades lighter than the keyboard the way I have my light set. Just enough to make it have good contrast. If I "see" the light, its too high.
But that is a personal thing.
