Carta came out (according to Google) in 2013, so I believe there hasn't been any significant change in contrast since than. And I don't think there was much of a jump in contrast from Pearl to Carta, although I do appreciate the difference.

There are probably features I can't think of that would get me to upgrade, but some that come to mind are still better contrast, less ghosting, remote for page turning, and plastic substrate. Some people seem keen on foldable devices. And I'd still like to near perfect lighting.
