Hard to say. I find the button position arkward. But I don't know if this is because I am not used to them being positioned where they are or if it is because they are in an arkward spot.
I am not big on using them anyway. I do tap for page turns and use the buttons when go through my collections or through the menue. So I don't think my experience with them is anything to go by.
What I do love about both readers is having the wider bezel to hold onto. As much as I loved the Aura One, when I got the H2O I realized my grip loosened because I had a wider bezel and didn't have to be afraid of accidentially touching the screen anymore.
Both Libras are great and even though I've been raving about the new screen the difference is not as dramatic as it was in the old days when we did step up from 212 dpi to 300 dpi. It is just when you compare them side by side. I guess if you are used to even lighting it will be worth getting the Libra 2. If you are one of the people who aren't fazed by the slight lightband, like I am, and you do get a great deal on a Libra H2O, you will love it, too. It just boils down to personal sensitivity.
And last but not least, I've been upgrading when ever there was a new reader out for over a decade now. Sometimes the new reader would have been on the market for a couple of month until I got it, but my cycle is about every two years a new reader comes home with me. I don't buy books, mine are library loans, so spending money on a reader is nothing I'd ever think about twice. And I always manage to sell my used ones for a good price, too, because they are only two years old when I sell them.
