The infrared screen is sharper than the Paperwhite's capacitive display.

That was my experience as well.

The software though is what killed it for me. Page turns and responsiveness felt slower than even my old Nook. This was especially apparent when compared to how snappy the Oasis 2 is.

Unfortunately, that's been my experience too. Not the page turns. That has been corrected. When reading a book, the Nook works perfectly, and that is a good 90% of the time you spend with the device.
But, when you are searching, browsing your library or whatever else, things are slow and the UI could really use a refresh. There's also been complaints of the Nook dropping user created shelves when you sideload books. I don't use shelves/collections much myself, but it is another slip-up from B&N.
