I felt like a chump for buying the Voyage weeks before the new Paperwhite came out with the same screen. The voyage is nice, but I would have gladly saved money with the PW3.
And that's at $200! The Oasis is definitely a tool for the really hardcore reader, or otherwise for the wealthy.
And frankly, I really like the Voyage case for setting it on tables or laying in bed.
If this somehow knocks down the price for the Paperwhite, I'm all for it... so I can get a Paperwhite. :P
And frankly, I've only owned one Kindle v4 and it's been going strong ever since, albeit I use it much less than before.
I read a lot with one hand and I couldn't make the switch to the paperwhite because of its weight (I read quite a bit with my brother's one, you can definitely feel the difference).
I still agree that the Oasis is really expensive. It's really a shame because it's designed for my favorite use case.
The benefit of the voyage has to be the pagepress buttons, the flush glass screen, and better backlighting. the PPI is minor.
