If I get a Clara HD, it will mainly be because I can get one. Of course, I might pick one up and hate it. Or be horrified by the price.

Kobo needed to bring their 6" reader on at least parity with the Paperwhite 3, Nook GlowLight 3, etc. Shame they discontinued the Glo HD for the Aura. If they price the Kobo Clara HD at $120-150, it would be good competition for the aforementioned.
I wouldn't be buying a Kobo with their previous line up of Aura 2, Aura H2O 2 and Aura ONE. The only Kobo reader I liked in that line up is the Aura ONE Limited and $300 after tax is just more than I'd want to spend on one e-reader. It's only due to blog posts and comparison reviews of the Glo HD vs Aura and Aura H2O 1st vs 2nd ed that I've been considering Kobo (and I'm more interested in the discontinued models).
