Personally I prefer the colour tone of the PW5 screen (whiter) to the PW6 (more yellow), but the contrast of the fonts on the PW6 is better. And the screen is a bit bigger (which is indifferent to me). The controversy over other issues is inconsequential for most Kindle users. I use my PW5 exactly the same as my PW6 (although I certainly never use a USB cable to transfer my books because I find it particularly cumbersome). Both seem to me to be excellent devices. Whichever you choose, you're going to get it right.
As I said before, the difference in size to 6.8" and 7" screen is negotiable. Unless the two were side-by-side, you would not notice the difference. My previous Kobo was 6.8" and now it's 7".

The issues raised here could be consequential for the OP. We won't know this until the OP responds.
