I have both, and can at least give you my impressions.
I like that the screen is higher resolution on the A6. I find the front light incredibly helpful, more than I thought I would before I tried it. The A6 is also just much faster, if only in terms of its cpu. Smooth mode refresh is clearer, and clear mode is faster, both of which are welcome. There are different widgets available, and I really wish that either the A2 or the A6 supported a widget that showed battery status (as the yota 2 does, but even the yota 3 doesn’t). I don’t like that I can no longer just set the eink lock screen to be what I was reading, but instead have to unlock to go back to my original app.
As someone living in the US, I also like that it actually supports 3G and LTE bands that exist here, but that’s a very location-dependent thing.
I hope the above was at least somewhat helpful.
