I know many folks dismissed the differences as to be hardly worth mentioning when I brought up this topic for the previous Oasis contrast. Yet, when reading for long periods of time, the contrast is very important to me—perhaps the most important aspect of any e-reader for me.

I must confess I am a tad bit disappointed: I want to like the new Oasis, but will have to hold one physically in my hand to make a better determination on the Oasis 2, as I really like the features it has in being water proof, audible integration and screen size. But horses for courses and this is merely my personal preference.
I agree with you. Based strictly on that photo, I prefer the voyage. Darker text, better contrast. Of course, the useful caveats about photos apply.
