The best "warm light" screen I have is still the Nook Glowlight 3.
As for size, I might be able to adapt to a 7" screen (I have an Aura HD that I don't mind), but the 8" screens are definitely too big for me. (A matter of taste.)

I agree with you re the Voyage screen; definitely the best contrast I've ever seen. Unfortunately I couldn't accept a 6" screen and the lack of warm light after using larger screens with warm light.
I only use the warmth in artificial light, not in daylight. In those conditions it doesn't make the screen less sharp/contrasty (to me) and IMO it looks nothing like the old grey non-lit screens. But I guess the perception how something looks is very subjective.
I read a lot at night, in a dimly lit room; so I use the warm light a lot also. I can't use the dark mode, as I can't stand light text on a dark background - my eyes tire immediately. I use the warm light on all my tablets/computers at night too for this reason, the dark mode is unusable for me.
