I have both; the Voyage display looks significantly better, and front light adjusts to ambient lighting, which is also a plus. The page turn buttons are nice to have, as it is easier to keep fingerprints off the reading area.
That said, the Paperwhite has more storage (more than 2x as much) and is waterproof, and you can get one for under $100 during sales. It also has Bluetooth which is nice if you want to use VoiceView or listen to audiobooks. I rarely use either of those features and suspect that’s the case for most Paperwhite owners. It also has ‘Invert Black and White’, which I like to use for some reason (but probably most people would not).
Overall, I’d just go with PW4, just because it is newer and more likely to last longer (battery etc), and the things that are better about the Voyage are probably not going to be important to most people.
