The differences I notice most are:

1. The Clara has more gradations of font size and also more line spacing and font choices, as well as the ability to change the weight of the font. Some people here have reported that it's not difficult to add new fonts to Tolinos if you are not happy with the preinstalled fonts.
Yep, this (in my opinion) is the one feature where the Tolino needs improvement the most. I'm finding that I like smaller fonts now (probably because I'm using eReaders with higher resolutions), but the font size I really like is not available using my Constantia font on the Tolino. So I find myself reading with a bigger font than I would really like because the next size down is too small. It's a bigger problem when I've been reading on the PocketBook 615, because it has about the perfect size for Constantia (for me, 10 point) and three times as many font size choices (24 instead of 8, the PocketBook goes from 6 point to 30 point). Both the PocketBook and Tolino take custom fonts... so does the Kobo (sorry for losing track). I use Constantia on about everything.

(I've added a screen grab image to show what 10 pt. Constantia looks like on the PocketBook 615.)
