Sony prs-600 or Onyx boox 60 (pretty long post)?

Hello,
I'm a Spanish reader...
I have a library of more than 4000 ebooks (managed with Calibre), in these formats : prc (the biggest part of them), pdf, lit and djvu. Until now i've read my books in my ppc (htc diamond 2) with mobipocket and msreader;but, obviously, i can read the pdf and djvu files only in my cumputer..
that's why i'm looking for a better reading experience and i've started to look for a good e-reader.
at the moment, my choice is between the Sony prs-600 and the Onyx Boox 60
i like the Sony, because of the touch screen and because I know that Sony is a top quality brand. but the problem of the "glare" because of the touchscreen makes me doubtfull about this reader... moreover, here in Spain I should buy through the internet, so i don't have the possibility to see it before buying...
on the other hand, the onyx boox 60 seems a good choice too: touchscreen (without glare), wifi (is it useful?), pretty frequent firmware updates (as far as i know) and i can buy it in a store near home .. but the negative points of the boox are the price (399 € vs 309 € for Sony) and its aspect: this reader is more ugly than the prs600 and seems more fragile (plastic vs aluminium)...

another doubt: is it the right moment to buy an ebook reader? this year there should be a lot of new readers , so maybe the best thing is to wait some months more and see what will happen.. or not??

which is your advice?

thank you in advance

best regards
