On the other hand, the Kindle 2 is at this point widely regarded as a major upgrade. There's only positive press thus far.

I disagree. The k2 isn't a major upgrade. It has almost no new abilities. The one major change was aesthetic.
If you want a pair of Sony products that share a relationship like that of the Kindles, then consider the PRS-500 and PRS-505.When the 505 first came out it was only an incremental improvement over the 500. (The EPUB support came later.)
