For me, my parameters are 6", Android, Carta 1300 so the Onyx Go6 is perfect.

Carta 1200 vs 1300 is marginal on mono-eink. There isn't even a huge difference between original Carta and Carta 1200 in ambient light good enough to read a paper book. It's almost irrelevant with a front light.
The Elipsa does do everything other Kobos do but I found it too heavy for prolonged reading compared to a Sage. I never went back to using the Libra or Libra 2 after I got the Sage, though I'd use the original Libra for recording narration as the buttons are more reliable than the Libre 2 or Sage.
There is only S/H or old stock Libra or Libra 2. The Libra Colour isn't an upgrade, it just ass pastel colouring, degrades mono text and can add artefacts to certain mono images or fonts due to the 2 x 2 array of coloured dots for 150 dpi colour on the underlying 300 dpi mono screen.
I do still have 3 off 6″ ereaders and a 5" model, but find 8″ best. There is now no good Kobo 7″ for regular novels. Lots of people in the family have upgraded from 6″ Kindle or 7″ Kobo to 8″ Sage.
