Yes, but the Aura edition to is a clear step down from the Clara HD

1) Less storage
2) no comfort light
3) lower resolution

Lets skip the "are those features make or break" argument, they're all enhancements the Clara has over the Aura 2. The Nia equalizes at least the first two, and unless I've missed something (it's possible) you're guessing at the resolution based on the Tolino Page 2's resolution.

Even assuming you're right on the resolution, it's unwise to clutter the sku's with hardware that's so close feature-wise. It might drive a few people toward the Clara, but they've already got that push with the Aura 2, why create new hardware to replace something to serve the same purpose?

The Clara is all of 10 bucks more on Staples.ca which does not appear to be a sales price.
