Here's pricing in Japan, for example.

Kobo Clara 2E: 19,900JPY.
Kobo Libra 2: 23,980JPY.
Paperwhite Signature: 19,980.

At this pricing, I also can't justify Clara 2E over PWSE either.
There's one easy way to justify Kobo over Kindle. Kobo runs a much much better firmware and integrates really well with Calibre for eBook management. Kindle's eBook management is really really poor. The PW5 is like buying a Porsche with a lawnmower engine.

And one other thing, Kobo is not playing stupid games with you to block you from your eBooks. And if you want all of your Kindle eBooks, you need to find an older Kindle that has firmware that only handles KF8 and not KFX and not a PW5
