My perception is the Sage/Libra2 have superior contrast to the previous gen e-ink displays. Oddly, the new Paperwhite is said to have the same screen, but in comparisons I've read the Libra2's screen described as having better contrast.

I agree that the difference is small enough to make upgrading solely on the basis of the improved contrast to not be worthwhile. The new Kobos are a disappointment when compared to the improvements their predecessors offered. If there was ever a generation to skip, in one's ereader upgrade cycle, this would be the one.
