So I stick to under €23 inc Shipping for non-EU. Brexit isn't actually done till 31st December 2020.

You get a lot more screen real estate for that extra £100. But also in my case a very unreliable power button, which I bypass with a sleep cover.. and sometimes it is slow to invert the screen when rotated.
I bought both but am reading on the forma, will probably lend the libra to my son. He uses my old aura hd so when that dies he may get the libra
On a sample of 1 of each, the libra seems better made to me.
Inverting the screen makes little difference to noticing the edge band , for me. I experimented both ways around. Currently I am having the thick edge with the buttons on the left..
