I have both and would say that the night light is surprisingly effective and useful. Not just for bedtime reading, but also for reading under artificial light in the evening. It does actually allow you to make the screen appear whiter and cleaner under artificial light, especially on a low light setting, whereas the plain light on the Aura Edition 2 has that cement grey colour in comparison.

Plus moving the slider further into the salmon pink-ish and then orange-ish light is very pleasant under artificial light.

That and the screen size is the main benefit.

For the rest, you only really notice things by comparing them side by side and they are relatively minor differences. The H2O Edition 2 has the better quality text, looking close up, and it keeps text looking better between full page refreshes, but the Aura Edition 2 screen has a slightly lighter background with the light turned off under natural light and the text can go bolder, making it appear darker. The H2O seems a tad quicker, but it is close.

If I had to pick one, I'd pick the H2O unless I specifically wanted the Aura for its smaller size.
