I'm not fond of the larger screen and it's loss of portability but, in fact, I prefer reading without the cover so if I get a Wifi Oasis and read it at home I can still use my Voyage to take with me.

I do most of my reading at home anyway.

Lots to think about while I'm saving for one. Of course i can get a Paperwhite and save even more.

I have a similar setup. I bought my wifi Voyage three years ago, then last year I bought the 3G version when I retired. Hubby had my wifi Voyage. Now i've splurged on the Oasis 2 hubby is moving to my 3G Voyage, and I am back to my Wifi Voyage for out and about. Its much more portable and fits in a dedicated pocket in my handbag.
