300 dpi devices are nice, and sharper, but the difference between, say, Kindle Oasis and Aura H20 is really very subtle and could only be spotted holding them side by side. If I were buying a new device, my current choice, sorted by cost point....

Amazon Paperwhite 3, Kobo H20 2nd Ed, and depending on need for text selection, Kobo Aura One or Kindle Oasis 2

The cheap Aura is jut not worth it by any measure.
I have an Aura and a Glowlight 3 with the 300DPI screen. I can tell the difference between the two The Glowlight screen is beautiful. But it's not as major a change on e-ink as it would be on a tablet. The difference hasn't pushed me to feel like I need to upgrade from my Aura.
