The Libra 2 edges ahead on the Mars Score (71 vs 67.5), but the 3.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the Libra 2 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are weight, resolution, waterproof. The single most decisive one: Weight — 310.00 g less. 215 vs 525.

Pick the Paper Pro if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are storage, screen size, color screen. The single most decisive one: Storage — 100.00% more. 64 GB vs 32 GB.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
