When it comes to comparing a larger screen with ergonomics, obviously you have to pick one, since you can't get both. But the cost factor is most definitely not a wash.

Well, that's just the point, if you want to compare the price I think you have to compare them with their offficial covers respectively with leather covers. As like you said, the Oasis can't be bought without it. Which means to me, you have to compare them with similar equipment components. If they were cars, would you really compare the prizes of two brands when one of the cars has leather seats while the other one has vinyl covers?
When you want to compare the features setting them apart, then you can factor the possibility to buy a cheap cover for the Kobo. Like one of them has the orange light and the other doesn't.
At least that is how I think about it and as we try to set good examples for our resident grouch aka Jon, this is of course just MHO.
