It's what makes the Aura One a good used deal if you're chained to 8 inch Kobo readers like I am.
I think a lot of people would initally go for the Sage with the pen-support, but might change ther minds after holding it in the hand for hours. Might be weight or battery that ends the session first, but after that I think the Forma really stands out. If you must not have the pen support.

I just got my second backup Forma waiting to be picked up by me (my wife took my first backup I got a month a ago). So with three Formas I will probably get by great until 2024 and longer!
