It's going to be a toss up between the 505 and the 600. If the screen contrast is most important to you, get the 505, but recognize that the PDF support is not as good as on the 600. IMO.
I really want a good screen contrast, but could probably live with the 600. I don't read a lot of PDFs on my broken 505, but then that's partly because they're a pain, and could well read them a lot more on a 600.

The hell of it is, this is probably the kind of thing where you'd want to have a good couple days to test-drive the 600 - read it in bed, on the bus, outside and see how you like the reading, and try PDFs on it the way you would on a typical workday. So, even if I do get to go to a store and see them in the flesh, it wouldn't be definitive.
