I am ok with it...just not sure if Clara BW would be too small. But Clara BW is newer with Carta 1300.

I am having hard time to pick.
The Clara would be a colossal reduction in size. How about doing a quick-and-dirty test on the Nova, and reduce the margins to approximate the size of the Clara and see how you feel about it?

I don't think the Carta 1300 factor is significant; the Libra would be way good enough, especially compared to your Nova. However, I'd consider trying to find out what exactly "refurbished" means, i.e., does it mean replacing the battery? Or at least testing it to make sure it meets minimum specs?
