Yes, the lighting and clarity on Voyage is better than Paperwhite and the bezel on the Paperwhite collects crud, which is annoying. And not to forget, Voyage has a light sensor. I like but don’t need the buttons, but if something happens to my Voyage, it would be hard to go back to a Paperwhite just to avoid laying out $200 for an Oasis (I paid $150 for my Voyage), and then maybe not liking it enough to use it frequently.
Paperwhite is the most popular model in the lineup so they’ll keep that name for the mid-range Kindle. It’ll have 8GB, Bluetooth (Audible), probably the same CPU as Oasis (Invert feature). The form factor has not changed but I think it is time to shrink it a bit.
