On the bright side, it's has the longest battery life of any of my devices that I use everyday and transfers and imports take less time.

I haven't tested and probably wouldn't notice a 15-20% improvement, so you may well be right. The difference isn't so big as to immediately catch the eye.
The (relatively) poor battery life doesn't bother me. I only ever read at home, so can plug the Sage in whenever the battery gets low (usually when it gets to 10% and I'm notified by the device).
