I'm not sure how to respond other than to say that there is in my experience a marked difference in the contrast effect of the PRS-505 and the WDX. Quite a few people are corroborating this.

It's of course important to discern between PDFs and Kindle content. I mostly view PDFs and the contrast effect varies quite a bit. I find that thicker, fuller, and bolder fonts have a much more striking effect.

In other words, aside from the GDX screen, the contrast effect is dependent on a number of factors -- two being:

1) Type of font
2) Formatting

Also, I think if the KDX had an optional reflow feature for viewing PDFs, it would hugely improve the readability of certain PDFs.
