Colors are bonus but black and white have to be at least at the same quality.

They aren't, at least from the pictures I've seen. It's a trade-off. Some will be happy with the trade, some will not.
I do find it rather funny that, since I started e-reading back in 2011, the cry has always been "screens are too dark, not enough contrast" and now that color e-ink is here, folks are practically stampeding with their wallets towards dark screens with less contrast.
But I also understand it.
I put my 2012 Sony T2 up against my 2021 Sage in a room lit with only ambient lighting, nothing direct, and honestly, the differences between my old T2, a Kobo Aura HD, a Kindle Oasis 2, and the 2021 Sage were pretty negligible if all front lighting was off. TEN+ years of e-ink development and without front light, a casual glance and these 4 reader screens looked virtually identical.
Of course on close inspection, you'd see the contrast and sharpness gains. But for most folks, I suspect it doesn't seem like much of a compromise to turn a front light up further.
I'm not against having a color reader, but it would NEVER be my
main reader with the current technology. I don't think
my old eyes would care for the trade-off.
