I own an Onyx Poke Pro. It is extremely light and the nightlight is excellent.
The only fault with it is that the first long press (for example, to look up a word is not registered). You have to press twice or do a quick page swipe to wake it up. Onyx are aware of it and have released an update, but I don't know if it's been addressed. I only find it a problem if I'm reading a foreign language text.
The other thing is that it needs recharging a lot more than a Kobo.
Another issue is where to buy one. There is a good store in Germany.
Really, an Onyx is for someone that wants to run Android apps. If you are technically well-versed, you can do so much more with an Onyx. An important note that using Alreader, Coolreader, etc, you can set up the screen navigation to work anyway you want. I find the Kobo/Kindle screen navigation poor. This may factor in.
Regarding the Kobo, I think the Clara looks and feels okay. The battery will last a lot longer. It is light. The light is good. You can install Koreader for extra options if you are technically able, and Koreader will allow you better screen-navigation options, though you may be happy with the default UI navigation (I am not).
Obviously Kobo is easier to find and buy than Onyx, and I imagine it is easier to return. Saying that, I have found Onyx support to be very good, but they are in China, and a much smaller company. Onyx has way more features, and it for the power-user.
But both Onyx and Kobo are good. Depends what you want.
