I can match the brightness of the PW3 by turning it up quite a bit more, but it slightly washes out the text.
how even is the lighting on the PW4? i couldn't zoom into your picture, but i see the light cones/shadows for the PW3...

i usually read at brightness 5-8 (dark room) with my PW3 and Oasis1, and on both, even though i "cherry picked" the best of multiple units, i still have uneven lighting near the LEDs... the Oasis2 i tried out last year was the best in this regard, but it was awkward and heavy for reading in bed and exhibited a color gradient from right to left.
