5" or 6"?

So I've pretty much decided that I'll be getting two readers - a large work one (waiting to see how the Plastic Logic one looks), and a smaller personal ePub reader for reading fiction.

For the smaller one, the world has gotten more complicated recently. The two main contendors have just released 5" readers (Cybook Opus and Sony 300.) Intuitively, I think I'd prefer the larger size of a 6". But from what I'm reading, the relationship between size and readability isn't so obvious. (E.g., I read comments that the Opus may be as easy to read as the Kindle 2 in practice.) Unfortunately, it looks like my ideal reader would have been the Sony 505, which is now discontinued.

Does anyone have any thoughts to offer on the 5" vs 6" topic?
