I have the 16GB model,but I was thinking of upgrading to the 64GB BW model, but for $40 more, I could get a 32GB color one. Was playing out all of the options, and keeping what I have is a valid option as well.

I have InkPad Color 3. As with any of these things you turn up brightness until it is at the level you want.
I think some people want to use it without any front light to save energy or whatever, in which case, yes it would be darker. But I always have front light on so for me B&W reading is perfectly fine. I like having the color even though mostly it applies to cover thumbnails, headings, and of course ability to use different highlight colors. I will not purchase another B&W only eReader.
My one complaint is that it (and the PB mobile app) seems to have trouble with fixed layout ePub (comics or other things). It may be something I need to fix in my conversion workflow but these look fine with Thorium reader, Apple Books etc, they pass epubcheck. And it will not do facing page fixed layout. Even 6" Kindles do this, and this has twice the display area.
So to the extent I read comics, I'm using PDF. It will read CBZ but I don't see any advantage to doing so (for example no ToC).
