Changing from PB360 to Opus?

Hello,
I bought a PocketBook 360 and gave my old Sony PRS-505 to my wife. I am reading mostly borrowed epub's from my local library and technical pdf's.

So my thinking is that I will use a small 5" for novels and then buy a good 9,7" with stylus when they arrive later this year or beginning of next year.

And I had read alot of positive reviews about how well the PB360 handles pdf's, and that it handles alot of different formats also (it does a good job on chm-files, windows help-files). So I thought this is a perfect device to use also in the meantime waiting for a bigger one for the pdf's.

But all this extra features and formats comes at cost it seems, the basic functionality for epub is not working very well.
There was a new firmware release but it was not stable and they are working on it, but I am still afraid that the ADE implementation doesn't have the highest priority among the Russians that even have their own FB2 format ???

I have read (by HarryT I think) that the best implementation for the ADE is the Opus one, this and that it has basically the same HW makes me thinking of changing to the Opus.

I will miss the possibility to use both left- and right-hand reading and the really convenient cover, are their any other annoying things, buttons? Firmware?
