I'm not fond of the larger screen and it's loss of portability but, in fact, I prefer reading without the cover so if I get a Wifi Oasis and read it at home I can still use my Voyage to take with me.
I do most of my reading at home anyway.
Lots to think about while I'm saving for one. Of course i can get a Paperwhite and save even more.

If you don't care about the larger screen and page-turn buttons, then there is no particular reason to splurge on the new Oasis, imho (unless waterproofing is important to you?). Better to get a new Voyage, from what I've read in various reviews it still has the best screen and contrast of all Kindles.
That's just my opinion, of course. I did order the new Oasis, but then I'm a fan of buttons and I like the shape. I still use my Voyage quite often too.
