Is it true that The Box Note 2 is newer/better than the Pocketbook alternatives?

I see the Pocketbook 10" models sport small physical buttons at the button. That would be a plus. But they also seem to be sizeably heavier, which is maybe even more important. Lighter is always better, for me.

Max 3 currently seems unavailable, and a bit too expensive for me anyway, so the choice would be seem to be easy. Unless there are brands or features and disadvantages I'm not aware of.

I would like something with physical buttons as well, but that's probably
I prefer Likebook Alita (10.3").
Likebooks have SD tray - I use 512 GB formatted internally.
USB OTG is more flexible - I can use 4 TB NTFS HDs on Likebooks; on Boox only Flash Drives FAT32.
I don't need the stronger CPU used in the Boox.
I prefer Boox in the Notes area. In Neo Reader, notes can be made in all supported ebook formats; with the Likebook only in pdf files.
