The frontlight is at 15 (it's winter and my apartment isn't bright enough to get a good, sharp photo with frontlight off), the same font and the same weight on both. Usually I read with these same font settings, but the frontlight level can vary.

Much appreciated! On the first photo I imagine I see the same thing as on my Nova 3 (although, possibly, to a lesser degree): a slight veil on top of the screen on the Sage. A sort of almost imperceptible misty layer between me and the screen. On the second photo the screens look practically identical, so hard to tell! It could be my imagination/paranoia playing up
Even the screen on my Nova 3 looks fantastic with sharp lighting or with the backlight on. But same as you I live in a country where that's not the case most of the year, and furthermore I read with the frontlight turned off. It could be that most people read with the frontlight on and/or with better ambient light and therefore don't notice these issues.
I'm aware that the differences between screens are slight, but it does affect my reading. If I'm even slightly tired I feel like I need glasses after reading on the Nova screen for a while. I never feel anything similar on my Kindle Paperwhite 3 or my Hisense A5 Pro.
I'm sure I'd be happy with the screen on the Libra 2 (my PW3 is fine and it ought to be better than that). I'd just prefer something with a stronger processor and better corpus à la Onyx Boox with Android. And maybe a bigger form factor like 10 inches.
I guess I'll have to dream on for a while!
