The first image (without light) look almost identical to me, the deviation - assuming the e-ink screen is identical - is minimal and presumably fall within tolerance limits. No screen is 100% identical.
Personal preferences and ease of use should be the deciding factors.

Kobo Sage also has a flush screen, but the text doesn't look grayish or faded at all. Pocketbook Era is well known for its subpar contrast.
