The Vision 2 has the advantage of using an E-Carta screen instead of a Pearl one. The Vision is also "waterproof" (water resistant). The Vision has a flush screen (which may or may not be an advantage, depending on your point of view). The Vision 2 is two years newer, a bit lighter and (in my opinion) has a nicer screen with better lighting. I also like that the Tolinos have ADE built-in, but if you're not going to use DRM books that's a moot point. The Vision 2 also has a white on black screen. The Vision also has a "Tap-to-flip" feature that allows you to tap the back and the page will turn.
The advantages of Kobo Glo would be a familiar interface (mostly the same as the Libra 2), a microSD slot and more choices for font size and font thickness. (No font thickness setting for the Tolino.)
I had a Kobo Glo for a short while. I didn't really like the screen (which is the most important feature for me).
