The screen on the 570 is the same size as the 600 screen, the 570 has a
higher contrast ratio (150:1 v. 100:1) and the 570 is the same weight as
the 560. I agree regarding the 560 - the screen has become too small and
low resolution to feel comfortable.
I think I've reached the end of the line in terms of screen size - 14" is
too big to be portable for me. I suppose that the resolution could always
be improved.
