I recently lost my trusted PW3 and decided to replace it with the new Oasis; however it’s backordered here in Europe, and I’m having second thoughts.

So:

The KO2 is cheaper and supports the lighter, magnet-held half-cover
The KO3 has the warm lighting feature

I reckon the warm lighting is mostly useful at night; however both devices support the “invert black and white” mode, and I would expect this mode to contribute significantly more to reducing the night-time brightness than the warmth of the light alone.

In this context, it seems the KO2 paired with a half-cover would be a cheaper and lighter option, for a very similar result. Any thoughts?
