Best ereader for writing?

Hi. I'm an engineering student looking for an e-ink device that can replace paper. I want to use it mainly for writing and doing math. After some research I'm about to buy the reMarkable tablet but I think that maybe the new Onyx Boox Note could serve my needs better and that it has more value for the money.

What I like about the reMarkable is that it supposedly has the best writing experience among the e-ink tablets, what I don't like is the talk about the unrefined software, the battery issues and the fast wearing of the pen nibs, since I will be writing many pages a day with it.

With respect to the Onyx, I like that the stylus nib doesn't wear off, that it also has pressure sensitivity and I'm really impressed by the tablet functionalities of the device, but what puts me down is that some people are reporting bugs and lag with the native notetaking app, since the writing experience comes first for me.

I was considering the Sony Digital Paper too but I think the reMarkable is just better for writing because of the more durable nibs and the fact that the pen has less lag and doesn't need charging.

So if anyone is using the Onyx Note for that purpose, how is your experience with it?
