First off, check out both devices thoroughly, in as many possible combinations of backlight + night mode as you can manage. Many Auras had a LED calibration issue where one or more LEDs would turn greenish instead of their correct hue. For some, it was apparent most of the time, while others only saw it with particular settings (for example, backlight between 5-30% and night mode at 70%). From what I've seen here, max lighting settings rarely unveil this issue. Also, be sure to check that the front panel was properly glued (sometimes they are skewed more to one side and leave a margin where dust can collect right along the screen edge) and that the back is firmly attached.
I'd say the colour is a matter of taste. For our purposes, either should functin just fine, as both variants remove the damaging blue light. When maxed out, my Aura One has an almost orange, angry hue to it. I personally prefer the look of amber, but you can only see the differences when maxed out. In practice, (day or night), I never go above 6% backlight and about 65% natural light to achieve a subtle yellowish, papery colour. If you find similar levels acceptable, you shouldn't see all that big of a difference. All other things being equal - go for the LE, as the larger storage is a nifty option to have.
